    Well at least you gave it the old college try. :thumbsup:

    The fact is, what you are asking to do is not very common - what did you expect? Somebody to reach out of their monitors and do it for you? Just relax, do some searching and have a beer. We'll get through this together.

    I have DRL's on my truck and I see no reason to be in such a rush to remove them.

    :confused: Too bad, I was hoping to learn from this...

    Would also like to disable my DRLs on my 2012, but they have made it impossible I guess.

    disabled DRLs disabled seat belt chime disabled the key in the ignition with door open buzzer Installed Illuminated 4wd switch circuit board Marker lights Flashing with turn signals Toggle switch ABS Disable Fog Lights on AnyTime Mod Changed to Yellow bulbs in the Fog Lights Converted interior lights to leds Installed oem roof rack Installed Firestone Ride Rite Air Bags and Daystar Cradles for the air bags Added oil catch can Relentless Tailgate Protector installed
    Why do you say they have made it impossible?Alot of people disable them because (SOME) have had issues in the past with the heat from the DRLs melting the light fixture.There are some pics on here some where.

    Ok, maybe my use of the word "impossible" was a little extreme ;)

    But with all the changes made to the 2012, I have no idea where to even begin. I searched and only found one thread where the guy swapped his DRL relay with a non-DRL, and it sounded like his front or rear (can't remember which) lights stopped working as well! Obviously unacceptable.:eek:

    I am not willing to start snipping wires blindly, but I am sure that someone smarter than I am will figure it out and share! :D

    Ok you need BOTH these parts....

    non-DRL relay Toyota part # 81980-50030

    M1 signal Juction Block Toyota part # 82671-30360


    ... to make everything work like normal conventional lights.
