Can I turn my amber front running lights off???

Do you guys know of a way to make the front running/turn signal lights only be turn signals and off when not turning? Thanks.

 

As in turn off the dtrl? There should be 3 wires that go to those bulbs. One is a ground, one is the turn signal, and the other is the dtrl. If you disconnect the dtrl wire that will turn them off. Or you could find the dtrl relay and disconnect it.

 

OP there is a write up on this. I used it and it worked. The wire is by the fuse box under the dash. Cannot seem to find the write up to send it to you. Maybe you will have better luck. Sorry about that!

 

Engage your ebrake..... of course driving with your ebrake will probably damage your truck.

That doesn't work on my truck.

 

Why would you want them disabled? You can't see them while driving.

 

Excellent mod instructions. OP did a great job with his description and his pics. Thanks Tusk.

 

May I purpose another alternative? I do not like the Amber daytime driving lights either. But I do like the White LED daytime driving lights
you see on most new cars today. Why not change them to a White / Amber Switchback LED? They would be White while solid then change
to Amber for you turn signal. Due to most Taco's having a 2 wire harness you will have to modify the wiring harness to possibly get them to work.
I think there is a thread or two on here about that. Or even easier buy a set of VLED Triton switchbacks with the built in resistors like I did.
Not cutting or modifying needed all plug and play.

Here in Las Vegas the police will ticket you for changing them out too clear,check your state laws before doing this.Not worth a $250 fine

 

North Carolina Clear or Amber is legal. I could have just changed the bulbs to White LED and I did for a while. But I didn't like the idea much of a White turn signal.
So I change to a Switchback.

 

First world problems...

 

The struggle is real!!!!

 

Does anyone know what year they changed it so they could be turned off or if with was an option? My '13 my headlight switch has 4 positions, off, dtrl, parking lights, and headlights/everything.

 

@Wheelspinner, I do not have a 4 position switch on my 2012

 

My dad has a 11' DCLB Sport. His switch is off/parking lights/everything.
I drive a 13' DCLB Sport. I have off/dtrl/parking lights/everything.

 

Hmmm interesting

 

i pulled my relay and replaced it with the smart tap dynamics...no more bulbs burning out

Not sure if this was an option but I have a 4 position switch like you on my 2015 SR5 4x4

 

I just leave all of my lights on all of the time.
