Default LED lights on longer

Does anyone know if there is a setting when you unlock your car the LED eyebrows will stay on longer. I can't seem to find a setting for this.

I love the look when I unlock my car and those LED's are on but they turn off pretty quickly.

Any help would be great

The setting is called "Headlamps Auto-Off Timer". The default is 30 seconds, and you can bump it up to a max of 90 seconds. See page 784 of your owner's manual.

Awesome! I did see that setting but I thought that referred to my headlamps. I am referring to the LED eyebrows beneath the headlamps.

So at night when I unlock my car just the LED running lights come on. Those are what I want to have stay on longer.

That's interesting... I keep my headlamps in "auto" mode, and when I unlock my car at night and step out, the headlamps and the LED eyebrows stay on for 30 seconds, and then they both go off.

I'm not sure how to keep only the LED DRLs on for longer after exiting the car at night. Do you have "Headlamp auto-off timer" set to "off" currently? I'm wondering if that has anything to do with it...

He mean the other way. When you walk to your car and unlock it with either handle or remote, the LED eyebrow & tail lights will turn on for about 10-15 seconds (just like Ford, Caddy, Benz). He want them stay on a bit longer.

I can't find a setting for it either, not even with Techstream hook up.

I was wondering the same thing. They really should stay on until the car is turned on or relocked. I love the way they look at night.
