Make the Signature (eyebrow) LEDs brighter.

[George M]

I would like to use the signature / accent lights as DRLs. However they are too dim. Is there a way to brighten them to use as DRLs?
I have alfaodb and MX+

Thanks

No, not possible. You can replace them with an aftermarket kit, but you would need to disassemble the headlights.

Unfortunately, no, many have tried, some even claim they have been able to do it, but then never produced any proof it actually worked.

OK. Thanks for the info.

Another option is disabling the signature lighting and setting the amber turn signals as the DRL location. This creates a unique look that really sticks out IMO.

That’s what I did.

I just changed mine to the amber I cant believe how much light they throw!!

It has been done. Here are some of the latest data I recorded

Accent/Signature Lights as DRLs: Thanks to @Jimmy07
I do not think this will work for 2019's not sure about others, try if you like.
Make the upper and lower LED accent strips the DRLs (no other lights on). They will
only come on in gear, they will be brighter than they were as accent lighting, the
accent strips will “drop out” on the side that the turn signal is being used on,
and they can be toggled on/off in the radio settings.

The accent lights can’t be toggled on/off with any truck setting, but you can
disable them with AlfaOBD:
CBC Extern.Light Calib. Signature light present to NO.
If you want to configure the accent lights as DRLs (only come on in gear), and to
be brighter than what they are from factory, make the following changes:
CBC Features DRL Configuration- OPTIONAL
CBC Features DRL Lamp Location- DEDICATED
CBC Features DRL Dropout Enabled- YES
CBC Extern.Light Calib. Signature Light Present- NO
CBC ELCalib. Left Side (right side) DRL Voltage Target- 7.4 (but can be raised)
CustSetMenu 1 daytime running lights CSM Present- YES

Signature lights come on at night because they also double as the parking lights.
Whenever headlights come on, or the parking lights are switched on, the same LEDs
that serve as the signature lights will come on because they are also fed by the
parking light circuits. Signature lamp dropout would mean that when a turn signal
is used, the associated headlight’s signature lights will shut off (drop out) while
the turn signal is flashing.

Thanks to swing4terps:
There's an option to enable signature dropout.
The same way turning off Sig lights did not disable them at night, Sig Dropout
feature does not work at night either. I did not test whether Sig dropout affects
daytime function as I turned them off and enabled turn signal DRLs instead.

Almost too bright at night. I like the daylight setting. Mine is currently set to both on Tazer but thinking about doing daylight only.

So this is all done in alpha?

I have tried doing the signature lights as DRLs on my 2020, it didnt work
