Procedure notes
Daytime running lights, sometimes referred to as DRLs or DTRs, are lights that switch on automatically when your 2017 Ford Transit Connect is turned on and in drive. Since the daytime running lights are on whenever you are driving your Transit Connect, they are often the first bulbs to burn out. This video shows you how to change the daytime running lights in your 2017 Transit Connect. You may get a warning light that the Ford DRL system needs attention when one side of the DRL lights in your Transit Connect is not working. These bulbs grow dimmer by over 20% over time, therefore we recommend changing both bulbs on your Transit Connect at the same time, even if only one bulb is burnt out - this will allow both DRL bulbs to have the same intensity and prevent the old DRL bulb from appearing dimmer than the new one. You may want to consider replacing your burnt out DRL with LED daytime running lights for optimal longevity.
