I believe that they are talking about all the same part.

This is what I would need for an 08 DC?

Any one know of a cheaper place?

I did this to my 2008 Tacoma last week. The only difference is that I put a switch in to disable the DRLs on the go. This was my personal preference, of course. Otherwise, it was exactly the same.

So you did such a great job with this but now you need to post up what you did for the separate switch on the 08. I'd like to do it that way on my 08.

Thanks for such a great job here.

Yeah, I plan on redo'ing my current setup (the switch) this weekend along with some other lighting/electrical modfications (Thanks to piercedtiger's thread), and install my URD True Cold Air Intake (if it arrives on time).

When I do all of that, I plan on taking tons of pictures and making sure that I document it all.

In the meantime, I will try to dig up the wiring diagram that I used to determine where to place the DRL switch...

Cheers!

Unless the wiring is different (which is highly unlikely), I doubt it. The 09's have a few cosmetic changes, but no wiring differences (other than audio) that I am aware of. This install details exactly what the dealership does to add DRLs to an 05+ Tacoma. They wouldn't change it unless the entire model had changed.

Not to point any fingers or anything, but it sounds like he is just trying to get some more money out of you.

I was not able to get to this rewiring, but I will need to do it soon as I am installing 2 sets of auxilary lights soon...

They tell me the wiring is different I find that hard to believe

Some of the wireing COULD be different, but only for the items affected. The radio, Tail lights, etc.. Only the things they changed for the year. I doubt the DRL's have changed.

Agreed. Maybe one of our TW members that is a Toyota Tech can help us out... If we don't hear anything by the end of the day, I may setup a separate thread to ask, or PM members that might be able to help...
