    2018 Toyota Tacoma Limited 4x4
    3inch lift on front, 2 inch in back. 285/60r18 BFGoodrich tires 33'in.
    So, I have 2018 Tacoma Limited. I bought it used, and as far as I know there wasn't any modifications done.

    I've been confused with my DRL because although the LED's light up when I click the button, the LED'S that turn on are the fog light LED's. Which is fine, but the same isn't true when I switch the fog lights on by flipping the switch thats on the turn signal. That switch doesn't seem to do anything for the fog lights other than turn on the dashboard fog light indicator. When I look at the lights they're not even on! I have to click the DRL button for that.

    Can anyone clarify what's up with this?

    You have four settings

    off = no drl
    Auto = drl
    Parking = parking lights and fogs if you want
    Headlights = headlights and fogs if you want

    what’s the question?

    there is no “button” for DRL’s as far as I know...

    The button you are referring to might be the auto high beams.

    If his high beams are on, the fog lights shouldn't come on at all.
