Yes they do

So long as the sport fender wiring harness matches this

then all you need to do is set DRL type to "USA" and set location as "dedicated". Also if they were LED equipped fenders, set front turns to LED (though this may not be necessary, it isn't quite clear).

Edit: Oh, also, go into your UConnect settings after doing the above, and turn on DRL in the lighting options.

I may be confused but do the white fender lights light up when driving with the headlights off? They come on when i use remote start and work correctly when i turn the head lights on. I have a 7 inch screen and don't see the DRLs in the UConnect settings. Is this a 8 inch screen thing only?

Have you enabled drl with a programmer? Yes they should be on when the headlights are off.

Just noticed it does work using the first position of the light knob. It dosen't work in the Auto position like i thought it would.

Because that's your parking lights. Check under your hood on the left side for a connector going into the fender that looks like this

They are not on during the day with the switch in auto but come on when the headlights turn on.

I went to 2 dealers here and they turned everything on to LED they could, and still no luck. Tazer fixed it.

im in the same boat I'm thinking that the AD6 (LED Lighting Group) sales code needs to be added which isn't actually in the sales codes to be added and i also think that if get the sales code LPY (Daytime Running Lamp LED Accents) then the fender lights with work properly i have to talk to my area engineer about getting this done.

PLEASE update me with any progress you make on this! PM me when you get the fix so i can relay it to my dealer.

Thank you very much.

Negative. LPY doesn't work.
