So its my first time with forscan, went in there to get familiar with it.

First I changed 'drl to include park lamps' to enable:
Ford Maverick Change XLT parking lights to be the DRL's instead of low beams drl-include-park-lamps

Next scrolled down and modified each low beam to be 'low beam only' instead of 'low beam and DRL' (do this for Left Low Beam as well as Right Low Beam):
Ford Maverick Change XLT parking lights to be the DRL's instead of low beams leftfrontlowbeam_onlylowbeam
Ford Maverick Change XLT parking lights to be the DRL's instead of low beams rightfrontlowbeam_lowbeamonly


Save configuration, and enjoy your lasfit switchbacks plus whatever else you have wired to them :) These come on once you put your vehicle into Drive, they won't be on in Park.

This is great info and how this should have been programmed from the factory. The way the XL and XLT use the low beams as DRL looks so stupid to me (that's how I feel about any car that combines low-beam and DRL).

some sort of computer yes, however i did see they have android/ios downloads as well, but i'd surely use a computer vs mobile.

it's the next day now, low beams came back on as DRL's along with the parking lights, I'll have to go back in and see what happened.

I'll have to check, maybe I was excited it worked and forgot, but it must have worked if I had success to report. to be continued...

Yesterday I tried to tackle this again, to no avail. I drove up to a place that had full floor to ceiling glass so I could see which lights were doing what with each change I made, and no matter what combination of things I tried, I couldn't get 'just' the parking lights to be the DRL's.

Maybe someone else smarter than me with forscan knows if some other 'page' is over-riding me telling the low beams to be low beams only.....

This is on my list of forscan things to do as well. My truck is 3-4 weeks away, if not one else can get it by then, I will be chiming in

I am going to try again today, I could not get them to stick either. There might be more options that need to be enabled/disabled.

Do the lariats only use the top portion for DRL? I am going to download the As built for a lariat and compare the DRL settings.

correct, lariats have the led strip on the top third of the housing as the DRL's, so that's already done for them, just wire accessories/additional lights to that and its' easy peasy

not very good lol.

There are some other modules that will need configuring for this work. It kind of got pushed down the priority list since I acquired a digital dash so I have been working on the issue of not being able to select drive modes with that along with the MF key in ignition chime being loud AF.

I figure by the time I figure that out, I can get the DRL stuff sorted. I’ve had a pretty good crash course in forscan the past few days.
