    As stated above I am still extremely curious as to how Toyota got the drl and turn signals to work with only 2 wires going to the bulb socket. I am attempting to install switchback LEDs, but I still have yet to find a power source for the DRL part. Any help would greatly appreciated!! Thanks in advance guys!!!

    He emailed me the instructions as well but the drl stays on even when the turn signal is on. What could be the problem?

    You need a specific relay to wire under your dash too, he sells them for $8? I can't remember.

    he wanted $12 + $5 shipping just for a relay but I guess if it will make my switchbacks work then I might as well!!!
