Val Stanis Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 I would like to switch my daylights to use high beams instead of low beams on my Edge 2016 Non-HID. Non-HID Edge - use low beams HID Edge - use high beams Is there any option to reprogram this using OBD? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 I am not sure if there is such an option, but there are hardware differences, HID Edges use H15 bulbs which have a low wattage filament that is used for DRL. A non-HID Edge has a 9005 high beam bulb that is of a higher wattage & thus will cause blinding to others on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONEDGE16 Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 There's a detailed write up on the 2G Fusion forum that details how to modify DRL and the different options as well as other mods using Forscan and OBDII http://www.2gfusions.net/showthread.php?tid=4573 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkyates Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 I used Forscan to turn on the DRL's in my wife's 2013 Edge. I have the parking lamps activated as the DRL's. I like to use Silverstar headlamp bulbs and I don't want them running all the time. Too pricey to replace. I thought if you had factory activated DRL's there was a menu option to switch them around. Is that not correct? Either way, Forscan is a neat software if you are not afraid to look at your Edge system and see what is active, look for trouble codes, etc.. I bought my ELM plug-in device off of Amazon that you have to have to plug into the OBD port in the vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 @gkyates The menu option came in the redesigned models (2015+). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONEDGE16 Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 @omar302, the menu only allows to turn on or off the DRL; also it is not available on G2 edge sold in Canada. the menu option can be added but you will still need forscan to switch the DRL from low beams to high beams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
