Quick question about OEM LED driving light upgrade...

[edehosse]

So I recently swapped out my halogen driving/fog lights for a set of OEM LED. Install went fine, and everything is working as it should. Noticed in the instructions the last step was to enter the vehicle configuration and add the LED fogs as a dealer installed option. Is that step necessary?

I think that's so the truck will recognize that it has LED fogs, and then it will turn on the proper wide when turning. If you have LED fogs, and they're not on while your lights are on, if you turn left the left fog turns on. If you turn right the right fog will turn on. Don't think the halogens do that. If you just turn your fogs on all the time with your lights (like I do), I don't think it will matter.

Ahh. OK. Mine are constantly on as well. Thanks!

I've got the halogens and if my fogs are off it will illuminate the one in the direction you are turning. I imagine having the dealer add the configuration is just so the computer knows it has LED's and it doesn't generate any canbus errors. It can be done with AlfaOBD as well.

Makes sense.
