Hi all,

Setting up a mine spec ute, is there a way with forscan to have headlights come on with ignition? Looking to avoid fitting a KOLO module.

I assume you don't care about tail lights?
There is a DRL LAMP CIRCUIT USAGE entry for the BCM. By default it is set to DRL ONLY on an XLT/WT. I'm unable to check, but It's possible that LOW BEAM (or similar) is an available option.
Edit:
There is a DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS entry too, which is set to DEDICATED DRL for an XLT.

Good luck.

Enable DRL and set low beam as DRL lights.
Also enable use parkers with DRL so the rear taillights are on.

Pretty sure the base cluster should support the DRL menu to support this.
