Is there a good consolidated guide on FORscan usage for the newbies? For example, what must be obvious questions to someone who knows the app - in the "recipe" listed above, do you actually put "x" in place, or do you put the value your truck currently has? And when you save your settings, is it a full save / restore, or does it save only what was changed? etc.

I'm sure I can go hunting for it, but if someone has a great reference handy I'll take it!

I'll have to go play this weekend. I really like the glare-free headlight and DRL options.

Will try tonight. Not 100% sure to test to see what it does. I get the concept.

well I didn’t see lights move or get shorter 🤷‍♂️
The wig wag function (swivel) should still work when you start up the truck.

The glare free won't be apparent unless you're going above a certain speed.

I'll double check that I wrote down the correct settings in the OP.

The HCM settings are different. Everything else should be the same.

It sometimes takes a few power cycles and time for the settings to "take."

DRL forscan code from ice trucks work guys! I used the flashlight to simulate the sunlight and damn it’s bright!

EDIT: I had problems making glare-free and the light bar work, but figured it out.

You must reset the APIM after you're all finished and wait a couple of minutes, then everything should take!

on the ice trucks they change the ipc settings as well. Is it needed for ours?

Oops, I left the IPC settings off of the sticky. I just added them now. @FlasherZ and @jredondox, try the updated settings and let me know if it works.

Are you modifying the brightness for daylight, when it's dark out or both?
