You’re talking about the white accent lighting, right? Another member quite some time ago asked about his on one of these new 5th-Gens with the fancy lighting but I don’t recall ever seeing what he did to fix it but just like I told him, if you’re good with custom wiring and relays, you could always just find the wires that goes to both headlights- cut them, tape the wire up good so they don’t ground out on anything and then take the wires you cut on the each headlight side, splice those together with a new wire and run it to a powered relay and then splice the trigger wire to your parking brake switch. That way when you’re idling and don’t want the lights to be on, you’d just simply set your parking brake to turn them off- kinda like how some of the older Chevys were set up factory to keep the headlight DRL’s off when parked but idling.
Hopefully there would be a special relay that would allow you to do that because when I had installed an aftermarket set of projectors on my old 2008 Ram, the lights had those white LEDs and the white CCFL‘s in them and the way the instructions said to hook them up was to splice each wire into the existing running light wire on each side but, I wanted the lights to be on all the time when the ignition was instead of just only being on with my headlights so I grabbed me a normal relay that I had ran power to from the battery, and then I ran my trigger wire with a fuse tap to the under-hood fuse box to a circuit that was only hot when the key was on.
If I would’ve thought about it, and if having the white lights on all the time was actually a problem, I could’ve done that with my old truck but having those lights on with the ignition never bothered me so I never figured out how to do it. Maybe one of the lighting and wiring gurus on here will chime in with better instructions on how to do that.
