    ok so i searched about 3 diff forums on how to disable my DRL's on my 04 tacoma everywhere i look its always cut the second wire but i heard that wire is the ground which sounds like i dont wanna mess with that haha also it leads to the highbeam lite to turn on

    and the second way i heard is to cut the first wire can someone lead me in the right direction i really want to get rid of these drls so i can get some hids! and i dont want to go do my last option which is go to the dealer and get ripped off lol anyone have experience with the drl's?

    do the US trucks come with DRL's?

    Just wondering how to add them if i buy a US truck and bring it back to canada since we have to have DRL's (I'd then remove them after inspection)

    I believe most of them do. That's why the DRL mod is so popular.

    It's been a while since I did mine but, as I recall, I followed the instructions here and here. (Both of them refer to the attached DRL TSB.)

    I disabled my drl last year because I didn't want my HID's on all the time. I am pretty sure I cut the first wire just like in the picture. I can always reconnect that wire back if I want my drl back :)
