So I recently replaced my 2015 Sport with a 2017 Sport. And I'm a little frustrated that I can't turn off the LED headlights!!!! The things auto manufactures do that limits what I can or can't do with my vehicle is getting ridiculous. Don't even get me started on cutting power after a few minutes when in accessory mode.
Has anyone here modified these so they can turn their headlights and/or DRLs off? You know, like when you turn the headlight switch to OFF??? LOL. Seriously, what's the point of even having a switch then? So bizarre. Fire the engineer who decided this was a good idea. If it makes any difference, my Explorer was originally sold in Canada.
A few reasons I might want to turn the headlights off:
1) At a drive-through
2) At a drive-in theater
3) While idling listening to music
4) While parked with the engine off listening to music
5) If your headlights are reflected back towards you, blinding you
6) Anytime you don't want to illuminate something in front of you
7) Being sneaky, hiding, wanting to be invisible
8) To flash your headlights off/on
I'm wondering if a simple aftermarket dash switch would do the trick. Anyone? - Tony
