I've got a 2012 xlt without MFT.

1.) Is there an option to enable daytime running lights or is that a feature on the more expensive Limited models?

2.) Is there an option to increase the light sensitivity for the auto headlamps? seems like it's gotta be pitch dark outside in order for the lights to turn on automatically.

TIA.

The DRL option is only available for fleet and Canadian sales if I'm not mistaken.
AFAIK there is no user option to increase the auto headlamp sensitivity.

1) I believe the DRL can be activated by your dealer, those from Canada that have bought vehicles in the USA and imported into Canada require the DRL to be activated. it can be done check with your dealer...
 






There are some threads on how to activate them, i have a ltd and i got bthe amber lights activated because the hid are not drl, but look for the threads!!

Do a search on DRL. There are quite a few posts on the subject there.
