Question/Recommendation Does anyone know where I can get vehicle programming via FORScan done at?
I have a Ford Explorer and trying to get my DRL’s changed to white from amber and apparently it’s done using FORScan. I have reached out to Ford regarding this and they have no idea what i’m talking about :/ so I have turned to you guys lol. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advanced.

Do it yourself. It's been a few years since I needed Forscan to program the mileage to a new instrument cluster in a Mustang but I recall downloading it. I did have to buy a cable that went from my laptop to the OBD port on the car. I also had to pay a small fee online for something but I don't recall. It wasn't difficult or very expensive. When I programmed the cluster I found a YT video with step by step instructions and I had no issues. I bet you can do the same for this.

do it yourself at home. I bought the adapter and software license for less than 50 bucks a while back to do stuff on my focus. Super easy

Download Forscan and diy. It's free for a 3 month license and can be renewed any time also for free. I added adaptive cruise, lane centering, removed seatbelt nuisance messages, and removed all chimes myself having never used it before.
I used the recommended wired adapter (not Bluetooth). It was around $40 after coupon code, Richardo5 or something similar.
You'll probably also need switchback LEDs for that specific change.
