blackice-I'm looking for someone that has experience with the program itself. we can get the Ford software to work with the ecu, we just need advice on how to really get into it beyond the engine parameters. thanks

I don't know how to do it, only that it can be done with a Ford VCM. I don't own one so I can't browse the menu to find out where it is.

I have no idea of 'how', beyond that I did it by going to my dealer, and getting them to do it since I was taking the car to the USA and that's why I wanted the lights off. They did it in about 5 minutes (including my time at the shop). Pretty simple, but again, I don't know how. Just that it CAN be done.

Navigate to the lighting control module & then toggle off the DRL.

Do the tuners we get with our pulley/tune kits have access to this region? I did use it to clear a code once but I've never plugged mine in to see what damage I can do :)
