    Hey guys, i have a daily driver 2005 PreRunner and am looking to do a few minor mods every once and a while. One thing i'm working on now, and if anyone has done this, do let me know; I want to switch up the lighting. I don't have day time running lamps, so i want to make the front turn signals into those. My guess is i could hot wire them, and turn the small running lamps in the corners into the actual turn signals, but i don't see how that would be such a hot idea. Any ideas or if you've done it, chime in! Heres a picture after a wash

    Welcome to San Diego! About 3 miles from you. Have a 2006 Tacoma PreRunner and my running lights are the lens between the headlamp and the grille. They shut off when I turn on the headlamps or parking lights. Does your truck work that way too? GM and other cars use a high wattage resistor on the high beam filament for daytime driving lights. I think Toyota chose the small bulb option to create less load on the alternator, could be wrong though.

    Welcome to San Diego!
    Live in Mission Hills by Old Town and have a 2006 Pre Runner. To have your front parking lamps or turn signals as running lights, all you need is two diodes rated for the current of the bulbs. One diode is put from Ignition switch to bulb and other is put inline from head light switch. This way circuits are electrically seperate from each other. Can make you a diagram if you like.
