DTRL Mod do I have it?

Hey it appears to me that my trucks day time running lights are on all the time. I dont really know exactly what the mod does but no matter where I have my headlight nob set to i always have the orange lights on.

here is a pic


so basically I am thinking that the guy who owned it before me did this mod. or is this how it is supposed to be stock?

 

I'm almost certain that whoever had the truck before you did the mod. I have an 09' that I bought brand new and it doesn't have DTRL.

 

That's because they're not standard on all models. It's extra on some of the TRD value packages. Mine doesn't have them either. Would have been a few hundred extra for the next package and that's the only thing it adds, and I didn't want DRL's.

 

Some dealers are doing it, not all. It's not factory stock.

 

Either the previous owner did the mod or it came as a factory option. It seems like not too many come with DTRLs from the factory but it is an option that some get. Either way, you have DTRLs now.

 

If you are from Manitoba as your info says, then don't all Canadian trucks need to have DTRL before entering the country? As Toyota tries to figure out why my DTRL's aren't working.

i'm not sure i leave my lights on all the time they turn off when i take my keys out and open the door.so i don't understand why everyone does this mod.and if you don't want the head lights on just leave the parking light's on

 

dtrl's are law in canada

so its stock from the factory

 

because headlights are blinding and DTRL's just look cooler.

 

but like i said just turn on the parks they turn off automaticaly

 

DRL's were factory stock on my '09 as well. I actually like them, now. I was disappointed when I first learned that the truck I wanted had them because, typical on most vehicles, they're the half-lit, ugly a$$ yellow halogen versions like on my Acura TL-S. YUCK!

I like these...they're the cool ones. I don't mind them at all.

 

My '08 SR5 has them stock from the factory

 

thought all canadian cars had to have DTRL's?
maybe i should ask in the "ask a canadian thread" haha

 

The 06 TRD Sport that I bought used has them too. Well, just the dash lights. I don't know who did it. I've only had it about a month now and the orange is getting to me. I may have to do the LED dash light mod. I like the picture of the white with blue needles.

 

Mine came with it. It's a 35$ option, for a relay and a jumper, parts cost from dealer - $35. Might as well order it on!
