Mine does adjust, with the dimmer buttons, I actually just dimmed mine because I felt like they where too bright at night, the one from the radio you have to adjust it on the display tab.

I did this mod exactly as the OP did changing my values from x3x3 to x2x2 and it worked just fine. However it worked just fine as long as you werenāt sitting in the drivers seat, ie standing outside looking at it. As soon as I get in the truck and close the door the passenger side lower LED starts to flicker as seen on the attached caught on my security camera and also as I could see when parked in front of our garage door.
Not sure if something is fighting it or not but as stated you wouldnāt notice it standing outside looking at it. Have someone sit in your truck while you stand outside. Also does it while driving as my son called me asking why it was spazzing out.

Okay, I'll be the first to say it, that is so weird! Ever since I changed it on mine, mine hasn't been doing any flickering..
I just did the same thing as you did when someone is sitting in the truck, zero flickering! Went to find a reflection, no flickering either.. ?-To anyone else on this thread, has this happened to you guys yet? @Hectort713, how about you?

It has happened to me once (that I know of). I was sitting in traffic behind a bus where I had a very clear reflection, the ring around the passenger headlight was going nuts. By the time I got home it had stopped and I have not been able to reproduce it.Okay, I'll be the first to say it, that is so weird!

Edit to add: this was during the day, DRL mode no headlights.

That's so weird. Were your tail lights on at this time or just the front LED bar (front DRL during the day)?

Has to be unrelated to this mod however, I'm going to guess maybe loose wiring somewhere or just a software bug? Definitely let me know if it does it again!

Yeah I am by no means saying it is directly related to the mod. The DRL function is full bright pre-mod I believe anyway, we are just keeping it that way with the parking lights / head lights. I just wanted @abd79 know he is not an isolated incident.
The consistency of the flash leads me to believe it is a led board or supply voltage (module) glitch. Wiring usually produces a more random pattern. It maybe only be in the projector LED assemblies. I will take a wild stab and say that is probably what @abd79 has as well.

LED projectors for me yes. Canadian truck as well with the anti-glare headlights vs just auto high beams like US trucks I believe. Maybe itās a weird combination of features on certain trucks. For me it was at night, sitting in the seat didnāt matter what mode the switch was in either on or auto didnāt matter. Like I mentioned before standing outside I could watch it for 20 minutes and it wouldnāt flicker once. I get in the truck and sit in the drivers seat close the door and it starts flickering. Not sure if your trucks also turn on the fogs when cornering but mine does, again could be software glitch or two systems fighting for control of the brightness, without the mod LEDs are rock solid
Truck is a Lariat with pretty much every option you could order including blue cruise hardware Prep.

Got it! But not related to this mod; I would highly suggest for the both of you to probably get the dealership check it out for you under warranty, maybe they can get under there and see if thereās anything causing it? I mean itās better to check it out tbh than ignore, even a wire issue can cause the truck to go in flames or anything, you know? Better safe than sorry! @abd79 @ROBB1

My Tremor 402A has all the the same options and functions as yours including blue cruise. Actually the high Termor and high Lariat are pretty much the same from a module perspective.
Interestingly I have enabled glare free high beams via forscan so we are the same there as well. However that feature is controlled outside of the BCM, so I canāt see any possible relationship there.
Iām starting to question my memory on wether my headlights were on or not when mine was glitching. It was basically dusk and I pulled into a shopping center right after to watch it in one of the shop windows. The headlight were on by that point for sure and I could not get it to start flashing.
I troubleshoot things for a living so Iām kicking myself for not making better mental notes. I just figured I would look into it later.
It seems like you can get yours to repeat. Does it appear it is bouncing between bright and dimmed? not actually going completely out? My recollection was that mine was flickering between bright and dim.
I need to go out and spend some time with mine and see if I can pin down what causes the flicker.
