    Hi guys, I'm new here. I like do the things by myself but this is a little tuff to my knowledge.
    This is my last try.
    I brought a LED DRL Headlights for my 2019 SR5 like a 2021 TRD in AliExpress and... Just work on TRD models.

    I had other one before plug and play because come with module in each headlight

    I brought a DRL module in Amazon is working but not in 100% bright and don't working the turn signals too. I put the pictures above, thanks for any help!

    The issue with the Amazon module is that it is a substitute for the combined DRL/TURN feature your vehicle already has.
    In your vehicle the DRL & Turn are managed by the Main Body ECU and the Combination meter.
    You need to turn OFF the DRL feature on your Tacoma via the Head Unit.
    Also, test the Amazon module for its function. Since it has instructions that the battery input might not work depending on "vehicle". It also shows the "option" to intercept the LEDs attached to the circuit to the turn signal. That in the OEM LEDs lights is an input to the surrounding LED to change from white to amber sequential flash.

    I can take off the Amazon module and use the original ECU.

    I'm in Red Cape, opposite side of the archipelago.:burp:

    You need to know how the Amazon module functions, you would need it to connect it to the DRL feature of the Headlamps. It's a separate circuit on the OEM vehicle (Not on the SR/SR5). I don't know how the headlamps you have are wired for that circuit.

    Good afternoon bro, where is this circuit?
    (SR/SR5 with Halogen DRL have the OR/Pro DRL circuit)
    In the left side beneath the dash?
    Close to driver knee?

    Hi man, i brought one LED DRL conversion adapter.
    Is working good, very bright during the day.
    The new problem is, the Ebrake is "tied" with the DRL ( was the amber light in the SR5 OEM headlights).
    So, if i connect the wires between the adapter and the headlight, when I release the parking brake the DRL become amber.
    And if i leave disconnected the DRL don't blink when I lock and unlock the car.
    Them come with 2 female 1 pin connector, so i done a jump with a green wire.
