Add DRL 2016 Ecoboost

Give me a few , I'll pull up a wiring diagram . Those are called signiture lights and are not really controlled by the bcm on how they work . Your car is a us car and not built for export ? That does make a difference on how they work .

Yea, it’s a US spec car. I purchased it used and it was originally put in service as a rental. Not sure why a rental car company would order a DRL delete but anything is possible.

Give me second to look at a wiring diagram. This is an us car and not an export ?

Sorry to so long . OK since the park lights turn on the the led that circuit is OK . Now when the head lights are off the led should light . Check fuse 68 in the battery junction box , both sides of the fuse . If OK you will have to pull a headlight and check pin 3 of the connector . Those lights get 12 volts at pin 3 to turn on when the ignition switch is turned to the run position . Again these are not considered drl lights , when you have the bcm Programe to turn on the drl lights they power up the fog lamps .

Holy crap......you sir, are a freaking rock star. Fuse 68 was blown, I replaced it and they just came on and seen to be working perfectly. When I start the car, just the LED’s come on, nothing else. I have my headlamps in auto mode. When I manually turn on my headlights, everything including the fog lamps come on and the LED’s stay on. I think my problem is fixed! No idea why the fuse was blown but it was apparently that way when I got th e car.

I can't imgaine wanting DRLs.

I can pull that fuse 68, and they'll be off? With no idiot lights or warnings on the dash?

My insurance company (USAA) offers a discount with DRL's, not much buy any discount is still a discount.

Insurance is a complete racket. Just complete b.s.

The DRLs should be the three LED “slashes” inside each headlamp, right? Mine are always lit up when the car is running.

No. The DRLs at least in Canada are the fog lights.

Also in an automatic the DRLs don't come on until the car is put into gear. They are off while it's in park.

In a manual they are off as long as the parking brake is engaged. Once you take the parking brake off (manual only) the DRLs come on.

Okay, but what about (probably) "Exports"?
I have a 2017-2018 Ecoboost Premium, bought it from Manchester, UK and almost as new (300mi on odometer), so I assume the fuse is not the problem.
DRL's never come on and the settings cannot be found in dash cluster either (still talking about those 3 stripes).
Is there any way to know for sure the DRL's are physically not there? Without having to take the first bumper apart (as its the only way to get to the main headlights).
Secondly, if they are 100% not there, does anybody know a suitable replacement kit and/or a topic in this forum, on how to add them (for exports)?
I know that for example Diode Dynamics has a RGBW replacement kits etc, but where to plug it when there is no standard DRLs previously installed, would be my next question.

Thanks for any help from Estonia!
