How to code out tail light DRLs on LCI cars?

TheMidnightNarwhal · 10-14-2021, 02:20 PM

I'm trying to code out my rear DRLs. I did it on my previous car but I'm unable to find my post about it that's probably dates back to 2019.

All the other threads I find seem to say the code is "DRL_TFL_MIT_BL" but that is already set to nicht_aktiv .

Anyone can shed some light ? Is there another code I need to change? I went through the list and nothing else seems to be related.

Have you got ncs dummy? I was trying to do the opposite and code my rear drl on. I did it by using ncs dummy as that gives a description in english of what each setting does.

I honestly can't remember the exact value i changed but try giving ncs dummy a go.

Yep I always use NCS dummy.

That line in English is "DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS WITH BRAKE LIGHTS".

So not to sure, assumed that was it but now that I'm re-reading myself, perhaps they mean literal brake lights as in when your foot is on the pedal type of lights.

But reading the other lines there is nothing that comes close.

There's also DRL_TFL_MIT_SL_1 and DRL_TFL_MIT_SL_2 which are "DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS WITH STANDING LIGHTS" 1 and 2.

Maybe that's the key. Would like to confirm before trying to code because my FRM is already on it's last legs and every time I code it something else breaks it seems.

Yep FRM3! Thanks!

it can also be Vehicle order, check if you have $8TL which is daytime front and rear

Just checked my trace file. Try these settings and see if it helps.

VERHALTEN_DRL_TFL set this to usa daytime running lights

DRL_TFL_MIT_RL_BL_1 nicht aktiv (daytime running lights with outer tail lights)
DRL_TFL_MIT_RL_BL_2 nicht aktiv (daytime running lights with inner tail lights)

My car is FRM2 but hopefully the settings may be the same.

i was able to do this through carly to ghost the car (zero lights, not even angle eyes). rear brake light delete switch next. sorry i dont have parameter, but 100% worked via carly.

Shoot, I don't have those lines in my file. I guess there isn't a way or else the line would literally be in the same group there? I went through the hwole llist nothing seems related to the tail lights for DRLs.

I thought maybe those are the standing lights lines in my version of FRM gave it a shot changed DRL_TFL_MIT_SL_1 and DRL_TFL_MIT_SL_2 and nothing changed.

I honestly have zero experience regarding vehicle order.

Do I basically need to just read out the VO with NCS Expert?

Update I was able to find the solution. Had to purchase a replacement FRM so I was able to test away the options and found back this thread in my search.

DRL_TFL_MIT_SL_2 (English DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS WITH STANDING LIGHTS 2) control the rear taillights.

DRL_TFL_MIT_SL_1 controls the HALO eyes and if you want to remove them. You can black out your car this way.
