Parking Lights differ from 005 > 007?

Okay, I see pictures of some of your trucks with the big orange turn signal lights near the grill ON.

When I turn on just the parking lights on my 007, the little lights on the outside turn on. The BIG lights only come on when I use my turn signal or my hazard lights.

I really like the way the 2nd Gen's look with the two BIG orange lights on by the radiator grill. Is this the DayTime Running Lights? My truck does not have the DRLs. Is there away to make my truck look like this without destroying the existing wiring?

Thanks!

 

Yes they are.

 

Well, now the question is how can I get them on my truck..?

 

The DRL mod is easy to do. http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/t170607.html

 

That is a great link!

I will probably wait till March and do this as time and money permits, but at least now I know where to look on how to do it.

Thanks!

 

Well, I finally did this mod. It was pretty easy once I got behind the fuse box. I took some pictures. I can do a DIY thread on this if anybody else wants to do it.

I will get some pics of how the truck looks now after the weather clears up a bit. It looks awesome. Plus, when I want people to see me, I don't have to rely on the pathetic parking lights or burn up the headlights.

Later on (once I figure out which wire I need to bypass) I will install a switch to turn these off whenever I want. That I will definitely do a DIY thread on!

 

I want to know how... show me.. .show me! I think it looks good and makes your taco stand out!

 

Ok, I will try to get the pictures of the lights and the DIY out this evening...

...that is unless my wife decides she wants to do something else.

 

Mark let me know when you post the pics, your diy posts have been really helpful

 

I will try to bust out a DIY thread this week, but I am really busy. I have a ton of work to do, and I still have to find a house here in San Antonio...

*Sigh* - It never ends!

 

Take yer time! Well appreciated when it's done!

 

Thanks! I want it to be as explanitory as possible.

 

Okay! It's done. Check it out>>>

 

okay well i hate the lights!!! i would just leave them alone...... they are a real inconvienance when you wanna do a drive bye!!! j/k but really the suck!!!

 

To each his own, I guess...

I love em'. They make my truck much more visible on the road (something you need if you ever navigate Planet Houston).

 

The direction you posted were very simple to follow. Thank you for the help. I love the look!

 

Hey... I am brand new on this site and i am trying to find out how to turn my DRL's OFF (that is the orange lights next to the grill). I dont like them on during the day when i am driving, i think it looks tacky (only my opinion). I have an 07 double cab, auto, pre-runner. I cant figure out how to disable these lights to save my life.... if anyone knows, thatd be awesome. Thanks for your time.

 

I will look back over the schematics again. I think that there should be a single wire that can be cut (or switched off in my case) to disable them. I will look into it when I get home tonight.

 

Should just be able to switch the lights off. When my lights are not on i dont have anything illuminated in the front.

 

They go off when your parking or driving lights are on. Just remove the relay if you want em off.
