Yeah, I ended up doing it and was genuinely shocked that it was that easy. Sick Raptor btw, and huge thanks for the help! P.S. got any more cool hidden forscan codes to try out?

Thanks. Your rig? Did you try to get them to not light with turn signals?
My build thread has a post of all of the Forscan mods I did. Just stuff I found here that others already gathered.

Ok SO WHOA. that's like the function in my BMW cornering lamp feature!.......We can do this on our Broncos??? Well, I have modular bumper but also have 4 pairs of aftermarket lights installed on my AUX switches.
So WHAT IF - I wanted the FOGS, that are CONNECTED to AUX3, to serve as my "cornering" lights? Just like in the videos. SO even if my AUX 3 switch is in the "off" position, but these are activated similarly when I turn left or right.
Is it also possible to ONLY make this occur when it detects that it is night-time, and my headlights are being used?
Kindly guide me!

Yup, my rig. Dunno about the not lighting part, but surely it's one of those codes that you'd have to keep normal. However, could also be that that's just how the programming is.
I'll definitely check your thread out!

This is only available for lights using the factory fog wiring (or wiring from those same connectors if the vehicle didn't come with fogs or fog harnesses).
The computers are saying if headlights are on AND (factory) fogs are off AND [turn signal activated or steering wheel angle is greater than limit value] then power on inside fog. Then keep fog powered until [whatever turn signal or steering angle criteria are met].

Nice that even though I said this is my opinion and I really don't care that people do this AND I was just wondering why they do so, you jump straight to telling me how wrong I am with straw man nonsense like "so no light is better than “improper” light because the book says that’s not what they’re for" Thanks for using opinions and feelings to tell me how wrong I am. I've certainly been put in my place

Hmmm.....Well, I get that you have to "use the factory fog wiring" - But I figured that the AUX switches ARE from the factory , hence "factory fog/switch wiring." I was hoping that maybe the AUX switch wiring was also somehow "connected", not just by a rocker switch but also electronically (for lack of a better definition).
Well, if you all figure out how to "connect' to the AUX switches via coding, kindly let us all know
That will take a relay with custom wiring. It's why I'll use my factory fog wiring when I upgrade my fog lights.Hmmm.....Well, I get that you have to "use the factory fog wiring" - But I figured that the AUX switches ARE from the factory , hence "factory fog/switch wiring."

I think what @Dover157 is saying is similar to what (for instance) a recovery guy would say to a wheel guy: a wheel is a wheel until you get out on the trail, where it may become a recovery point in a certain difficult situation. As for fog lights, my A-Pillar yellow fog lights have limited use for fog, are good in snow and rain, and best at lighting up a forest trail at night. They show much better contrast than the whites which wash out depth-of-view to my eyes, and they light up the close-in ditches well.

Are there any changes required outside of the BdyCM modules? I’ve made all the suggested changes and can’t get the fogs to turn on with the turn signals or with the steering wheel (or with DRL). I tried using the hex numeral adjustments posted earlier in this thread and the “easy” method in Forscan.
For reference, I have a 23 Badlands with the modular steel bumper. I installed the fogs using the preexisting harness in the bumper and added the dual switch. I have no issues turning the fogs on with the switch, so their main functionality is fine.

Replying to myself, but somehow I got the cornering lights to work. Only realized it when I pulled into my garage this evening and noticed the fogs activating as I turned the steering wheel. I hadn’t driven the Bronco since I made the Forscan changes last weekend, but nothing worked 5 days ago. Go figure…Are there any changes required outside of the BdyCM modules?

I'm trying your way, so not working at first. I will keep a watch on it. Does it only work at night?

I would love to hook up some gatekeeper knucklepods to this. Think it would work great with the wheels turning and turning on!
