    Hi all,

    Do your DRLs light up when you unlock your truck? I could’ve sworn mine did.

    The led DRL’s do not light up when unlocking the truck. The turn signals flash but not the drl.

    Mine flash, however they only stay on once I put the vehicle in Drive. I have however experienced certain occasions when they did stay on. My assumption is the battery + alternator power.

    That’s because you have an SR5. Your turn signals are your DRLS.

    All other models with the “WHITE LED DRL STRIP” will not light up on lock/unlock commands. Only turn signals will

    Try this: with engine off, set parking brake and turn drls on.

    Start engine. Observe drls, are they on?

    Release parking brake. Observe drls, are they on?

    If I do this, mine (2017 white strip drls) come on after releasing the brake.
