Yea we are the job 1 peasant

For me, that's a good thing. I can follow instructions to a T. When I start to experiment, that's when trouble starts, haha

Well, I'm job 2 but I have a Canadian car where the DRL acts like the European. I'm also the cheerleader.

I already stopped doing any changes for a few days.

i was about to say how yours is a job 1, but i double checked just in case. yours is a very, very late job 2; September 2024. yours also has the LDCMA, LDCMB, and HCM software that the GTD has. i decided to compare some other stuff too.
your right headlight part number ends in R and the left ends in X, which is also true for the GTD.
your HCM is NL1Z-13K198-T, also the same as the GTD.
so out of all of us in the thread, you're the best candidate to actually get this working.

also, while i was typing this, i discovered that Ford finally uploaded the wiring diagrams ans workshop manual for the GTD! time to get comparing those

This might help but I have no clue, I messaged that one guy that managed to do it, he said that he should be able to help me as long as I have “FDRS” I gotta sneaking suspicion he’s gonna try to have me pay him but I got RGB headlights being delivered soon so I probably won’t proceed if he does.

edit - just realized that means “Ford Diagnostic and Repair System”

FDRS is a dealer-level tool for programming of modules. a 2-day license is $50, 30-day is $200, and 365-day is $900. the fact you apparently need FDRS is quite interesting. if he does require being paid, PM me how much. im willing to pitch in funding for this project

so, good news. it looks like the HCM, headlight, and LDCM are wired the exact same exact way a north american non-GTD is. that means no wiring harness swaps or patches. i also learned a bunch of random stuff about the GTD, like how the whole trunk delete was done just for the transaxle fluid cooler, and how the "deck lid" is a part of the rear bumper cover assembly

gotcha, I’ve sent him the vin on WhatsApp just waiting for a response.

i guess its a sort of waiting game now. i've been a bit burnt out on searching for things lately, but will do a bit more looking tomorrow. i swear, if this ends up being something really simple i missed...

Yes, but just like I said earlier. When I compared all regions, the GCC and US have almost the same way of programming the DRL while EU and Canada has their DRL programmed differently.

If this thing is a region thing, than it's useless for me to try things out since it can make it different.

For example, I'm going to try a few combinations out and it won't work.
I come back to this forum and report that what I tried didn't work. Somebody else with a US or GCC car reads it and goes try something else while the lines I have made could be the right line to get the DRL to work, but didn't work because of the region settings.

Sorry, it's hard for me to explain, but I hope you understood what I'm saying.

Same thing happened to me when I wanted to enable TSR. I had all the lines right, but my TSR didn't work. What was wrong? The region settings.

So it's way easier for US and GCC to go try things out since they are similar.

from what i heard, someone in saudi arabia has gotten amber drls to work, but is charging an unknown amount for it, and it supposedly only works on 2024 Job 2. from the video i have seen, it also seems to affect the welcome lighting, at least on the GT and EB lighting schemes. that last part admittedly makes me suspicious if it really is a "program only change" like he claims, but i dont have any evidence on either end. i probably wont be trying to get in contact with them because i dont wish to support a country where someone like me can be executed for merely existing.

anyways, given that it supposedly works on Job 2 only and later, using the diagram from earlier it has to be one of four modules:
the BCM - there doesnt seem to be anything in here to control it that was added in job 2
the GWM - not likely, as Job 1 and Job 2 2024 seem to use the same software and hardware versions
the HCM - according to Livinitup, the only major differences are the addition of new settings for dynamic headlamp leveling and towing
the LDCMA/B - the software is different, but the hardware is the same. livinitup has the job 1 and 2 pages the exact same, so i will ask if this is an error

so now we need to find out what each module does
BCM does a lot of things
GWM really only allows modules on different networks to communicate
HCM does directly communicate with the headlight
LDCMA/B is literally mounted on the headlight and is apparently not listed in the wiring diagrams on its own. this module has three connectors on it, but i can only find wiring for the connector that goes into the headlight itself. i bet these do not exist because these wiring diagrams are for service use, and Ford probably expects any issues with the headlight's internal wiring to be solved with a new headlight. basically, we are SOL in terms of LDCM connector wiring diagrams

What an ignorant thing to say, why would we consider killing you for existing? It’s clear you know nothing outside your small village or wherever you’re from, retard.

However everyone else I just booked with Prog Legend to Amber my DRLs and he said it won’t cost stupid amount.

Jesus that was full blown insane bro. My god.
