Running Headlights
I was wondering if any of you guys have wired in a switch so you can shut off the running headlights when needed. I want to be able to have my parking lights on without the running headlights on.

Same here. I have never seen one either. I am not doubting jmm137, I know what he's saying is true, just curious what year had them and for how long.

I just wanted to double check and make sure I wasnt wrong or it was something else. I just called one of my buddies who also has a 2007 f150 and his run also. On other cars that my family has owned, you could put the emergency brake on and they would go off but that doesnt work for my truck either.

My '08 XLT has DRL's. I don't live in Canada as you can see by my location. When I purchased the truck used with 18,000 miles the DRL's didn't work. I didn't know I had them until I downloaded a copy of the window sticker. After troble shooting using the FORD tech manuals, I found the resistor, located in front of the radiator support (drivers side) wire was broke. I repaired the wire and now the lights work fine. If you want to disable them, install a switch in any one of the two wires.
