Have often wondered why Porsches don't switch on the rear lights together with the front LED DRLs like its other German brethren - BMW, Audi and Mercedes. Especially when the 991s have IMHO a gorgeous rear light signature. Can the control unit be programmed to switch them on too along with the front DRLs?
Can a 991 be programmed to enable rear lights with DRLs?

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

A simple diode from a DRL socket/circuit/wire to the rear tail lights will do that.
Unfortunately I can't do that here because it would void the warranty. Heck, even changing to aftermarket wheels or adding a bodykit would void the warranty. I was hoping that the rear lights could be enabled via software so that way I can persuade the dealership to do it within warranty. Any idea if it can be done?
