Dim DRL

Have any of you noticed that the LED DRL dims to half brightness whenever low beams are turned on? Does anyone know why they do this and is there a way to prevent that?

 

The stock ones are pre wired from toyota like that. I don't have that problem since i have leds in there and not halogen bulbs! Mine stay full brightness with the low beams on!

 

Do you think the halogen is drawing on the same circuit and the LEDs lose power? I think the LEDs are programmed to dim when the halogens are turned on

 

There is a dimmer wire on my led lights to wire them up to the parking lights and I said forget that, who wants less light lmfao!!!

 

so we can cut the wire to make them full bright all the time?

 

The DRL on my truck came with factory LEDs. I thought they all were.

A dimmer wire? What is a dimmer wire

 

Why would you buy a vehicle and not modify it to your liking?

 

Only the TRD and Limited has LED DRLs.

I assume it's a wire that senses power in the headlight circuit and tells the LEDs to dim.

 

I wonder if that's located inside the housing or part of the harness somewhere leading up to the bulb.

 

MORE POWER

 

Not the stock ones I don't believe.

 

That's on my drls, your drls are stock halogens. Here are mine!

You misunderstand DRL for parking lights

 

Oh your talking about your oem parking light led thats "L" shape......

 

It's the same thing with fogs.
They turn off when you use high beams...

 

Make sure your DRLs are checked on in your vehicle customization settings. When I bought my truck, my DRLs were off (from the factory) and I was actually driving around with my parking lights on and the LED DRLs would dim when it was dark outside or in a garage.

 

I will have to make sure to check that
