Tail lights/ break lights fuse

[Lurker5]

Hi All, does anyone know what fuse(s) drive tail and break lights? Bonus points if you can advise on marker lights too. Manual only lists fuses 22 & 23 as headlamps, but can't seem to find anything on the rest.

Trying to figure out if there's a way to blackout the vehicle on the outside for offroad driving only.

Thanks!

That is not the way it works now in these computer controlled vehicles.
All the lighting is controlled from a Body Control Module.*
That is why you don't see a dedicated fuse to the left and right lights in the fuse list.
As well, they are part of a minor Bus circuit as part of the Can -Bus System.
To light most all lamps, the headlight switch only signals the BCM* to close power to said light via a Solid State device.
Not like old times where you switch power direct to a light from a dash switch.

Seems to be BCM controlled.

Thank you for this info. I promise I searched before, apparently not very well. Much appreciated.

I hope this is for night vision hog hunting.

THIS. Multiplied by 1000. And don’t get me started on using ‘loose’ when you should be using ‘lose’.

There is a “dark mode” programmable via FORSCAN. You _DID_ search the FORSCAN thread right?
and before you make any forscan mods, backup all of the modules 1x1.



Dark mode is NOT RACIST !
it’s used for Police vehicles where they may need to surveil by stealth prior to performing some actual law enforcement.
this should help.

Snarkiness aside, thanks for the comment. But dark mode only blacks out interior afaik, doesn’t affect outside lighting.

Got it. I thought there was something in FORSCAN because we’ve had some hog hunters on here with the same goals - and B/D even sells IR lights for... just such an occasion
