No need for codes on this one, just find the BCMii and change "DRL with park lights" to enable. Have not tried Focus and Mondeo yet, but you could just try, and change it back if it doesnt work. Most settings on never cars can be changed using enable/disable, so no need for codes 😉
Activation of drl with parking lights is not the issue. As soon the rear parking light is enabled the front drl light will be dimmed according parking dimmed lights. I have seen a possible solution on this called DRL - Position Lamp Cfg. Block 726-29-02 xXxx. Have not tested jet. But should fix the problem and keeps the drl bright at al time.

I'm sure we are having the same issues. Kuga, Focus, Transit all had dimmed DRL (led) when park lights was activated, but with the lastest version it works fine. Bright LED front and rear lights on. The LED front changes correctly when choosing between auto light, DRL, 0 etc.

I was running the latest version. But still it was dimming the DRL as soon i enabled rear parking lights incl DRL.

Same here - After turning on rear position lights, front led lights are dimmed :(
any solution to that? It is strange why making change to one thing is changing the other.

726-26-02 x*xx xxxx xxxx (0=Disabled 1=Enabled) option just enable Front AND Rear Parking Lights w/DRL.
Front parking lights are dimmed DRL lights.
So, we need to find parameter which enable just rear parking lights wDRL.

FYI once you make change to this one 726-26-02 x*xx xxxx xxxx then the last number at the end 726-26-02 xxxx xxxx xxx* is changing from 8 to 9.
However changing the last one back to 8 doesn't work :(
I'm able to take a risk but I'll be better if someone with the basic knowledge of these codes can point any direction that may be responsible for led lights brightness before I start playing with... anybody? please :)

Today I have seen Mondeo MK5 with rear parking lights enabled as DRL. Front DRL was not dimmed.
How it's possible?

Really no idea how to get this work... also failed a while ago.
The funny thing is, that my 2019 Ford Fiesta does have this working ex works... What I noticed is, that the lights control switch is different with both cars. While the mondeo has a switch with 3 or 4 fixed positions, the fiesta knob can be rotated all the way round, 360 degrees...
