So I have enabled DRL on my 2018 Laramie WITH factory projector headlights, following the below AlfaOBD settings. The DRLs work using the factory parking lights.

My question is how can I change to using the High Beams as DRLs ?

The other directions I've seen for factory quad headlights have a specific setting to choose which lights to use as DRLs abut I don't see the setting for my 2018.

DRL configuration >optional
DRL lamp location > dedicated
DRL dropout enabled > yes
CBC I/O right dedicated DRL lamp output present> yes
CBC I/O left dedicated DRL lamp output present > yes
LED dedicated DRL present> yes
ECUConfig 3 DRL customer setting enable> yes
CustSetMenu 1 daytime running lights CSM> yes

I haven't seen anything about running high beams as DRLs.
I did disabled DRL and Fog Dropout though....when I put the high beams on everything stays lit up.
With the HID's, my wife says it's like daylight lol.

This is the one function I couldn't ever get to work. The fogs, parking lights, and dedicated DRL's would function but not the high beam. Seems like it's only meant for quad headlamp equipped trucks.

This should be what you change to High Beam for them to be the DRLs.
There should be another setting for DRL Dropout, disable that setting.

If that doesn't work, it maybe some internal programming that prevents it possibly having to do with the Low Beam shutter operation.
