DRL's on new Mustang,can they be activated?

I'm hearing the DRL's for some stupid reason are not going to be working,why? Also the rear indicators are not sequential,the new Audis seem to have them!!!

Because they don't comply with EU regulations in terms of direction. The rear indicators are different from Audis in that they are effectively seperate units, whereas the Audi (and other marques) are LED strips in the same module.

In terms of reactivation of the DRLs, having had a good poke around the headlamp unit in Frankurt I'd say it would be difficult to do as the modules aren't in the EU lights. Then there will be the challenge of getting the CAN-BUS and SJB to recognise and operate them.

We get a weedy DRL that sits above the foglight in the lower bumper.

Surely once we have the cars,someone will be able to activate them even if just on when main beam is on

When the headlights are on the 'gills' also look like they are on as the light reflects through them.

I did notice on a YouTube video that on the on-screen menu there was an option for line lock !

That's because the cars are coming with it

UK cars have a slghtly altered version of the performance pack as standard. This includes the 'Track Apps' of which line-lock is one feature.

It will be easy to spot Mustang owners in your neighbourhood - just look for dirty great 11's everywhere
