Headlamps & DRLs - rant and fixes

Ok. I found them. Changed them accordingly but there’s no change in the truck. The toggle doesn’t come up in the Uconnect settings page on the radio.
 
CBC Features: DRL Configuration- Optional DRL
CustSetMenu 1: Daytime running lights CSM Present- Yes

yup. That’s exactly what I have set. The app is telling me I’ve already selected that and no changes are needed.

I bailed on getting the setting on the radio. I have DRL lamp location set to “none”. Now I have just the signature light strips on which was my ultimate goal.

The radio takes some time to populate the the DRL toggle setting.
The only two changes that needed to be made are the two that @OuterUB just posted, then wait for a bit.

Could be an hour, could be a day. That’s the first thing about making any changes that have to do with radio settings- patience.

10-4 guys. Thanks for the wisdom. I am going to take it for a drive to get Xmas presents this afternoon. I checked all my lighting from DRL all the way to night time high beams. Checked everything. Only thing affected by my changes are no more low beam for DRL. EPIC!!

You guys were right. I just went to pull the truck into garage and quickly checked the Uconnect lighting settings page and the DRL option is now there. I’ll give you credit jimmy, you sure know your stuff. There is no way I would have considered waiting hours for that to populate. I thought that it would populate the moment I enabled it in AlfaOBD. Good stuff guys! I’m stoked about this mod! It looks great!
 
Jimmy's the man to be sure.

Enjoy the new look... Loving mine!
 
Hello again. I once again used AlfaOBD to access some DRL settings.

I left the following settings the same:

CBC Features: DRL Configuration- Optional DRL
CustSetMenu 1: Daytime running lights CSM Present- Yes

I changed the "DRL lamp location" from "none" to fog light location.

My plan was to keep the fogs as the DRLs with the option to turn them off using the toggle on the Uconnect lighting settings page.

The fogs haven't turned on tho since I performed the change thru AlfaOBD. I did this change yesterday. I have cycled the truck a couple times since then but we'll see.

I read something about the following setting - DRL Fog Light Strategy: NO - being set... am I missing this or another setting to get the fogs as DRLs?

Fogs don’t work as DRLs on the 2019+ rams.

I have a Ram 2019 Limited from Canada and I have turned my DRL's off just leaving the top and bottom led strips on. If anyone with a Canadian Ram wants to do the same ask away. I used a SGW bypass, OBD2 Link MX and the AlfaOBD app. Took me a while to work out what to do but could explain it to anyone who wants to do the same.

I am looking to do this as well....More info please! Thanks

Ah ok. If you are interested in having the tools available to get into the settings, you need an OBDLink MX+ module, Kaodtech security gateway module and the AlfaOBD app on an android Bluetooth device.

There is also a user in this thread from Edmonton who might be able to help you out.
