I have a '24 Lariat and I used Forscan to (presumably) turn on my tail lights with the daytime running lamps. I'm looking for a clever way to see if it worked. Without help. I can't really see enough of the tails in the side mirrors to tell.

Any good ideas??

Drive by a building with big reflective windows.

Or just randomly ask a stranger.

Not what I recommend but may have done it once or twice.

-Wheel chock you tires
-Set park brake
-Put it in Drive
-Get out and look (leave the front door open just in case)

You could set your phone on the bumper and hit record.

Dumb question, what does DTR stand for?
They are more commonly known as DRL's. Daytime Running Lights. I picked the wrong acronym in the thread title.

I went this route but put the phone on a chair instead. Mission accomplished--the Forscan code for turning on the tails with the DRL's works as intended!

Have someone stand behind you and look. Just don't run them over!
