I remember the day's of yore when you could be cool and run your parking lights at dusk. From everything I can gather it is not possible without programming thru the OBD port. I did hear a rumor that HA pkg can do this? I have a call into OBD-Genie and they are looking onto it for me and/or assessing the need for adding the WL - Amber DLR to their products.
II really like the look! And want the option!

Comments anyone?

We called that running with "The cool lights on". Back in the 80s...

Any word from OBD-Genie? I would like Amber DRLs on my 2022 Trailhawk 4Xe.

Thanks for checking..

I talked to him again last week and sent pictures of what we need. I will call him back next week to check back and see what he says. If more people call and request I think that helps our cause. If so inclined give tech support a call and inquire too. I just want my parking lights to be Amber and keep the DRL white.

Yeah, I don't want to be fiddling with switches every day just to have a look. Auto headlights are so useful.

Related but tangential, I'm.seeing more people than ever driving without their lights on at night. I believe it is because of manual switching like this as well as because the dash is lit up always, and DRLs provide some light. I'll come up behind completely dark vehicles from the rear often.

This problem got so bad in Canada they took away our headlight off switch position :mad:

It's too bad the parking lamps don't auto cancel when you open the driver's door after shutting down like a lot of imports do. It'd be a lot easier to do the amber thing on the trims that have it.
