    I recently purchased new headlights for my 2017 SR5. The new headlights have the LED DRL’s. Has anyone ever done this before? The SR5 does not have the LED’s day time running light. How would I wire it?

    Thanks @caribe makaira! I do make a harness for this. The issue comes down to "separating" the DRL from the turn signal, because on the SR5, they are on the same wire. The one I make will still allow you control everything via the stalk switch (so they turn off and on when they are supposed to, as well as dim when they are supposed to). You can do it other ways, the most popular choice is running the DRL off of an ignition controlled circuit. But that leaves the DRLs on all the time, and at full brightness. Just shoot me a PM if you're interested, I will be making a few soon.

    Thanks to Puppypunter for making me a harness to adapt lights with DRLs for my SR5. The harness works just as it should and John(Puppypunter) answered all my questions about the install. Excellent customer service!!
