Turn off exterior lights when opening door

[BM4183]

Is there a way to not have any exterior lights come on when opening the door? I set the light switch to off and changed it in forscan to not default to auto.

The reason I'm asking is for moving locations while hunting at night. I'd like to be able to get in the truck and drive off without any lights to draw attention.

Thanks,
Brandon

What kind of hunting do you do at night?

With the OP a fellow Texan, I'm gonna bet feral hogs (it's legal on private property, with owner permission of course).

There's some option in forscan called police silent mode or something similar that I've read about. I think it would accomplish what you want.

Pigs, coyotes, more pigs.

It's not that we hunt at night, but it's dark when most of us start walking to our stand. But have been known to shoot a coyote in the dark, 4 legged kind, not the 5.0 kind. LOL

I turned off the interior lights, the approach lights and the DRL, but the running lights still turn on when I open the door. I didn't see anything in the forscan spreadsheet regarding turning them off either.

Does nobody camp around other people and not want all the lights turning on? The headlights can shine directly into another camp spot or ruin your night vision if you are stargazing. It makes opening the door to retrieve something rude to other people, or yourself if your vision has adjusted to the dark. Can’t I just turn the lights on if I want all that?

Nope. Not without enabling "dark mode" with ForScan.
