BeebZetec Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Hi, So i want to upgrade my standard h15 headlights to the led drl you see on the ST. I have been looking around and found out that it is not that simple and that the led drls do not work as they are supposed to. Something about when drls are on, they are dim, then when headlights or sidelights are on they are bright, has anyone been able to sort this out and how have you done it?

Tom-B64 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 It's possible to do so but you'll need it coded by a Ford Tech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the dealer. My local one would if they could, many just aren't interested though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CREED Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 You can reprogram it yourself using Forscan and a modified USB to OBD adaptor. Have a read through this: http://www.jamessimpson.co.uk/elmconfig-enable-ford-ecu-functions/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in the guide it mentions about modifying that port, also gives you the option of buying it from him, do i buy it off him and just plug one side in my laptop and the other in my ecu port underneath the steering wheel?

Yes, I would recommend a buying one pre-modified as most of the unmodified ones on eBay no longer support this modification. You can get modified ones more cheaply on eBay too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
