5th Gen DRL's - What's up?

trying to decide between the alpha and tazer... not Sure I need to be so far into the programming as to warrant the alpha. I’m a plug and play kinda guy... seems the tazer might be a little easier ? Another note, anyone have any photos of their drl’s with the turn signals as their running lights. I tried to take a photo of my truck with the flashers on... would it look like this with the LED strip on the bottom on... ?
Did you ever find an answer and solution? I'm interested in doing the same. Thx.

Here’s a few pics of my Limited with the amber as DRL’s.

sig lights are set to no
Drl drop yes
Drl location turn signals
And the menu feature worked to turn on with my Canadian truck as well which is cool.
So with the truck in park with no lights on it’s dark (no lights). Put it in drive ambers on. Switch to parking lights amber and lower signature on. Switch to full lights amber off and both upper and lower signature on with headlights. Also, the dogs can turn on without the headlights on in parking light mode.

Sorry about the crappy photos, my assistant wasn’t available! 🙃

Are your fog lights acting as DRLs as well? It appears that way in the photo. I’m wanting to set our turn signals and fog lights together as the DRLs. Do you remember the settings you changed to make this happen? I’m using Alfaobd.
I'm using the Tazer DT to use the Amber turn signals as DRLs and the Tazer DT also to have the Fog Lights illuminate, regardless if the headlights (low or high beam) are on/off.

Hi All - curious, has anyone tried using Tazer or AlfaOBD on a 2022? I have a 22 Backcountry, Level 2 Equip, Premium lighting, Technology Pkg, 8.4" info w/Nav coming soon and this is one of the things that first caught my eye. Would love to use the amber turn-signal LED's as DRL's, etc. Is the 22 the same as 2019-2021 since UC5 is involved now?

It’s the boards. A few people have. But you have to cut your light in half to install them.

I used the Tazer on my 22 to turn the ambers on, so yes, it is still the same

Oracle will do the work for you if you send in your lights. I accidentally deleted the email response with my quote and something came up so I had to push it out quite a ways now :( I want to say it would cost more to ship both ways then the labor quote was, and at the time I was ok with that since I know I will melt the house if I tried :D

when you convert to drl as amber do they still work as turn signals?

I have the 2021 bighorn with LED package. I got the AMBER lights to come on with the AlfaOBD. Any way I can get the whites to go off? And then is there anyway to get the Amber DRL to stay on even when the lowbeams/Highbeams are on?

It can't be done. The truck's turn signal DRL circuit isn't wired that way.
Alfa can't change it.

I tried it too. I have the halogens with the switchbacks too.

The white only comes on with your main head lights.

First, you need an OBD2 reader (mine is a cheap OBD2 reader that I bought off Amazon over 6 years ago but works fine with Alfaobd). You also need a security gateway bypass. I bought mine from Amazon also. Next you need either an Android phone/tablet or a Windows based PC to install Alfaobd on as it doesn't support IOS.
Is there a way to change the HALO to Amber via the utility ?
