Hello everyone, I’ve upgraded my standard headlights to the ones with DRL stripe, is anyone able to help how to activate them ? I’ve got FORScan and the obd reader. Any help is much appreciated!

You set the mode to 05 - RH symmetry under DRL don't remember where exactly it is in Forscan as I did mine last year I think it's under the body module or central config. You'll notice the difference straight away as it goes from low power LEDs to full power when you use auto-lighting.

Nice one mate, thanks. I’m gonna do it all tomorrow, hopefully it does work. Anything else I should know or be careful of ?

Ensure you do the back ups before hand, changing the DRL isn't too risky but having back ups is always a good idea just in case. Shouldn't take more than 10 min to do.

Little update, I have done it works! However, how could I make them as bright with the headlights on ? Because at the moment they’re bright on their own and as soon as I turn the lights on they’re not as bright ? Any ideas ? At the moment I’m running option 5

That's how they're meant to work.  They'd blind other drivers at night at full brightness.

Those are the Mk 3.5 Focus headlamps. They pop up quite regularly on eBay or sometimes through Fb groups.  The Mk 3 are more rounded, and I believe the LED strip is at the bottom.

Hi! I have the EU 2017 MK3.5 halogen headlights without the DRL stripe. and I would like to upgrade them with the DRL ones. Was that easy as plug n' play? You haven't found any various in the pins sockets between the old and the new headlights? It would be nice from you if you can list the Forscan steps you did as well 🙂 Cheers!
