Cornering Lights?

[NavigatorV8]

is it possible to enable the fog lights use as cornering lights?

I would think that you would have to get into the physical wiring to do that, if it is even possible. Also given that they are recessed into the bumper, I doubt they would give off any more light for corners than your headlamps. The LED fog lights on the 2016+ models might do a better job, although given their location they would not be ideal.

Check out Forscan.

That's all I got.
Next step would be the wiring as Peter suggested.

There is a ForScan mod for the 2G Fusion for corning light, maybe you can try if it works on the Explorer:

Fog Light Cornering Lights:
726-26-01 (2014+ MY) xxxx xXxx xxxx (BCM)
0 (Disabled - Default)
1 (Enabled)
Note: Foglight on corresponding side of car illuminates with turn signal/steering wheel input under 40km/ph
Feature standard on European Mondeos WITHOUT LED Adaptive Headlights

The fog lights do still reach further to the sides than headlights, so it might be helpful. I've never had cornering lights, or even seen them that I can recall, on any vehicle. I'm not sure how useful they would be in general, but it's an interesting experiment.

I've had them Jon and they can be handy in dark situations. I find that the headlights work fine for me even on unlit country roads. I rarely use the foglights although they do slightly improve the light to the side. To have proper cornering lights, the light must actually shine to the side.

My Dad's Landyacht Town Cars had them. Kinda cool, actually.

checked, my value was already set to "1"

It is probably a 2016+ thing, not even sure it would work, but 2011-2015 Explorers are different.

The 18 Navigator that I had for a week had them, it litterally lit up front the driver's door (where it meets the quarter panel) forward when turning (regardless of using your blinker) the more you turned the wheel, the brighter it got.
