    I just upgraded to oem TRD non pro led headlights on my 2018 sport. Everything works. My question is, my driver light switch does nothing now. So if I want driving lights then I have to run them in parking light mode. Correct? Or did I miss something.
    Thanks

    By driving lights you mean the white C shaped LED lights?
    Set your stock to Auto and they will come on. That's how it works on my Sport, with OEM factory-installed LED headlights.

    I used the parking mode on the switch stalk when I first bought the truck, until I figured it out. Then I tried Auto and now just leave it in Auto all the time.

    By driving lights, I believe we are referring to the DRL, correct? The “C” shaped” light that surrounds the low/high beams.
    Do you have automatic low beams? On the steering wheel stalk switch, does it say DRL or AUTO?

    Thank you all. The auto switch just had to be on. I was all ready happy. Now I'm even happier.
    In my opinion FBC makes a high quality product. But, for me, what really has them head and antlers above the rest is the fact that they include the plastic fender flair clips that they know I will break. Not only do they care about their product but they care enough to make sure my life is simpler. Kinda like a breath of fresh air.
    They will be getting a 5 star rating tonight.
    Again, thank you all and happy holidays.

    Glad to hear it. All the credit goes to @daveeasa though. I’m just the occasional tech support :rofl:
