LED DRL - Increased Brightness/Angry Drivers

[flynnstone]

I have a ‘22 Lariat with a Fox leveling kit (adjusted the beams) and have increased the brightness with Forscan on the DRL LEDs to 80%.

At night the LED DRL’s definitely look bright but not blinding to me. I seem to get flashed from oncoming drivers often though, and was curious if others have run into this?

'21 Lariat and my DLRs are set to 100% brightness, Glare-Free enabled headlights with Bambi Mode enabled, and I almost never get flashed.

More people flash me in my '14 Spark than they ever have in my F-150, and that thing's not even half as bright.

I saw the glare free option in forscan but didn't really understand what it does. I do have Bambi mode activated

Basically automatic high beams. I think only works with the high end bending lights but not certain. It slowly fades the brights on and off as it sees oncoming traffic or darkness.

Bet it has more to do with the level than the DRL

I was thinking the same - just lowered the low beam level again to see if that helps

Individual LED’s in the headlight are turned off when approaching oncoming traffic. Note this system turns off below around 30 mpg and with high ambient light. It’s not related to DRL . High beams remain on with glare free enabled . Photo from owners manual.
