DRL conversion on 2007 tacoma

I am thinking of starting the daytime running lights conversion on my 2007 I have read instructions about it just want to know if anybody has had any problems since doing it?

 

Just ordered the parts myself last night.

 

went with the relay swap on my 08. no probs so far

 

Relay and jumper

 

Yea after seeing the 09's and up at our meet i really wanted the DRL lights!

 

Where is everybody ordering the parts from?

 

nope its worked great for me, all plug and play

 

I got my from trdparts4u.com but that was a couple years ago but try checking them out.

 

I just went the other way with my '09 due to the DTRL's melting the lenses. Swapped out the OEM relay and "Y" harness with a flasher and other component that was sent to me by an owner that wanted the DTRL's in his truck. Before making this change I would make sure that you aren't going to have melting issues.

X2. I installed the OEM DTRL kit on my 2006 and it started fading the reflector so I took mine out and sold it on TW.

 

O really is there something different about the lens in pre 09 or is it just a chance that it could happen? Could the bulbs be replaced with lower watts?

 

I've heard it happening to owners with 09+ and its just hit and miss. Some people have issues while a bunch of others dont.

 

OK

 

I just got some DTRL LED's from csjumper2003, since LED's create less heat and use less energy, hoping this will prevent the housing from melting.

Yeah the LED's should work. I have LED's for my rear turn signals but you have to get resistors to avoid the hyper flashing.

 

Yup and csjumper2003 gives you those as well

 

Oh nice! I was going to try LED's up for the DTRL's but I just ended up selling the DTRL kit. I did the DIY DTRL mod and thats what I use right now and I like it along with the alternate turn signal mod.

 

Didnt think of leds sounds like a good idea

 

Yeah it is but make sure if you guys do it to get quality LED bulbs. I went through a couple Ebay ones and they worked okay but the output sucked and they werent bright enough. Check out v-leds.com, they can get pricey but I am very happy with my rear turn signals cause the output is great!!
