C shape led

Hi guys this is my 1st post I have been looking on here about a year now. I have a question I have seen a couple of f250s at night and I see that the c shape led is real bright at night compare to mine. Is this something new for 2018s or can I do it to my 2017? Thanks

17's had the option also. Yes but be prepared to pay... folks around here are selling for up to 2k.

17 and 18 share the same headlight assembly. Yours might be faulty.

I found on a different thread where someone changed the codes with forescan to make it full brightness during the night time.

Might be something to that. Mine seem to be bright AF all the time.

The C-shaped DRLs on my 2017 KR with LED headlights will dim when the headlights are burning. They also burn dim when I remote start my truck. When burning only as DRLs (using the auto headlight selection), they are brighter. And again, as soon as the headlights come on when it gets darker outside, or when the wipers start running, they go dim. I've done a number of Forscan mods, but that one is not on my to-do list.

X2 on the AF. I know my '17 dimmed but I think my '18 stays bright. At least that what it appears like looking at the reflection in a store window. People in the store were probably wondering what I was doing.

I dont see anything in the the Forescan spread sheet that addressed dim/bright C/Halo's
Theres only one configuration related to the C/Halo's and it's for DRL configuration.

I haven't looked at the spreadsheet lately. Perhaps it was mentioned in a one or two of the last couple thousand posts in the Forscan thread.

Found it. It's often easier to do a search using Google than the FTE search engine.

wonder why they haven't added that to the spread sheet.

is the HALO full bright when the switch is set to park?

Mine don't go full bright when just the parking lights are selected. My HALO (C-shaped) lights go full bright only when the headlight switch is set to automatic, it's daylight outside, the wipers are off AND when the transmission is in any gear other than Park. In automatic mode, they go from full bright to off when I shift into Park.
