DTRL switch mod question?

I am going to be installing day time running lights on my 2009 Tacoma sr5 by following this thread.

http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/technical-chat/1475-05-drl-daytime-running-lights-install-oem.html

I want to know if i am able to install a DTRL switch or are the switch mods only for the people whose Tacoma came with DTRL?

If i am able to do the DTRL switch mod how should i do it? I found two threads on how to do the mod i just dont know which to use and if they will work on my setup.

Here are the links

Thanks

 

WOW 2min reply. Thanks!

I'm glad to hear i can to the switch mod. Do u have any preference to which thread i should follow or are they both good?

 

Hey thanks for all your help! ! just have one stupid question. I am going to buy this switch http://www.oznium.com/scion-switch-led but i don't know witch color will match my orangeish redish Tacoma interior. should i go for the red or the amber? Thanks again!

 

Went with the amber. Cant wait to get these guys hooked up!

 

They both wire up exactly the same.
The first one uses a rocker switch which has spade lugs on the back so the wires can be fed through the opening and connected.
The 2nd link uses a pushbutton and needs the small connector to allow the wires to pass through a drilled hole in the dash or one of the blanks.

As a side note, the wiring job in the first link is more solid.
Solder and shrink-tubing beat the hell out of crimp connectors... especially blue butt splices used where the smaller red ones would be correct for the wire gauge.

 

Ok cool I will use the 1st link then. Thanks for your help I'm not to good when it comes to wiring but I'll give it a try.
