Just wanted to follow up on this, did the dealer fix the issue? Also wanted to know, was the Super Duty Full Brightness DRL, made the Pro Power Onboard issue? Thinking of doing the same mod, wanted to see how bright they look now.

yes they are super bright

Looks so good, and okay! Does it stay that bright when you put it on mode 2 (side marker Mode) on the switch or does it become dim? To confirm, is this the line to change?

That is very odd. I’m gonna buy the newer cable and try again today. I’m genuinely concerned as no idea what’s going on for me. Haha I have to ask, was my setup inspiration or did you build on your own and it’s coincidental? ?

100% coincidental, I did this back in April and didn’t join the forum until a month or so ago.

Nice lol. I got mine right before Christmas last year and when I saw these wheels I knew they were the ones.

Yes that’s the line to change, and yes they stay bright with headlights or parking lights on, it will stay bright all the time.

Awesome, thanks a lot for this! Been looking around for this specific mod because I don’t know why Ford likes to dim the led bar on second mode on the switch every time, it looks so bad. This definitely looks so much better! Thanks!

The reason why it was dimmed, it’s because there where a lot of complaints about people getting blinded by oncoming traffic, looked like they where getting high beamed, so Ford made this as a recall, to avoid accidents and you know the rest (sued), my 2019 f50 had the full brightness on, I took it in for some other recalls and this was one of them, when I got it back they where dimmed, so I had to do the mod with Forscan again to make them bright , so that’s the reason why all the LED are dimmed when your parking or head lights are on

Thanks for the clarification for that, I did hear about that issue a few times. I didn’t know that was an issue at all, my 2020 F-150 stayed bright the entire time (I’m up in Canada), which was weird. Love the LED bar in full time brightness to be honest and they look a lot better with LED tails and don’t need the low beams on during certain times. Thanks again for this!

I can now confirm this works 100%! Works in both the ‘21 XLT & lariat.

Ford should know. There's a letter about this. It says that there's an APIM & TRM update that the dealer can perform.

Had that update done today did not help my issue Getting really frustrated at this truck!

Anyone know if you can turn off/disable the Trailer Disconnect Alarm? Mine if I leave the lights hook up and lock my doors the alarm will go off within 5 min ever time. Ford of course has no clue as always! Thanks!

Does your trailer happen to have LED lights? Mine does and the alarm keeps going off when I have the truck off with the trailer connected.

Has anybody tried adjusting the screen size on Forscan? I know that on certain models of the F150 & Bronco, you can get Sync 4 with an 8" screen. You get all the features of Sync 4, without the annoying little side bar for a true full screen experience. I'm curious if changing your screen size in Forscan would effectively give the experience of the 8" version on the larger screen.

Has anyone taken their truck to the dealer for service WITHOUT reverting the modules to factory settings? Is it really that big a deal?

I have not and not concerned with it. I changed running lamp brightness, fogs on w/bright lights, disabled double honk and disabled auto start/stop. Should not be any issues taking to dealer. What are the going to say???
