Turn off marker lights

[Redcup]

Is it possible to turn the marker lights off when the headlight switch is turn to "O"? I am ok with the DRLs being on just want all lights off when I put the switch in off.

I don't have DRL's, and I'm not sure which marker lights you are referring to, but I do find it funny that the lights around the headlight switch do not illuminate until you turn the switch from the off position to something else. I don't use the auto function(I want my lights on when I want them on, plus being blinded at 5:30am when backing out of carport is not cool, and running HIDs...not trying to shorten the life cycle)

You might be able to do what you want with AlphaOBD,or with a Tazer,as you can set the tazer to dark mode which turns all the lights off.

Don't know if this will work or not, but with AlfaOBD, you MAY be able turn on the police settings and add a CSM / the settings on your Infotainment screen to control stuff like lights and door locks.

I was referring to the tail lights and front turn signals. When I turn the lights off they still stay on. So what I would like to do is when I switch off the headlights all the exterior lights turn off too.

So this would have to be left plugged in?

All the lights should be off in your '18 if the headlight switch is pointed at the "O".
Wonder if there's a problem with the headlights switch, with the BCM itself or possibly some program setting was changed using a progr like AlfaOBD

With the DRLs if you don't have the option in the radio to turn them On/Off, you should be able to add that with AlfaOBD (I added it on my '15). The other truck to run with the DRLs off is push the emergency brake down just enough till DRLs go off

I have a problem with my headlights staying on, in the auto mode, even when the engine is shut off. I have to move it to the on mode to auto to get them to shut off.

Simple fix,learn to turn them off auto mode,lol. Maybe i'm old school but i never use the auto mode on the headlights,i prefer to turn them on and off when i want ,also don't use auto sensing on the wipers either

Did you check the setting for Headlight Off delay in the EVIC Settings screen. I believe the default is 30 seconds but can be configured to 0, 30, 60 or 90 seconds.
