?

 

Pretty sure 2012 is different from '05-'11.
The disable procedure MAY work, but the best way to go is to find someone with an '05-'11 who wants DRLs and trade them flashers and jumpers.

Non-DRL has an 8-pin flasher and a shorting jumper on the fuse block.
DRL has a harness on the fuse block, 12-pin flasher plugged into it, and the shorting jumper removed.

 

shit.......I just re checked 007Tacoma's writeup and they are diff part numbers

good call Rich.

still quick in ur old'er age....... not hung over from the party?!

 

Working this week.... just a couple of snifters of Bushmills.

 

I have a 2013 and it can be turned off at the stalk.

 

??????

Must be new... hasn't been an option for anything prior.

Unless you consider turning your headlights on to be the option.

 

The stalk has off, drl, parking lights, and headlights.

 

It is new for US 2013 trucks

 

mine only turn off when headlights come on or when parking brake is engaged.

 

i started to buy a hid upgrade kit and was told if i have drls i need to buy two extra 40$ parts dqm but i think it was a relay and a canceler hell maybe he was trying to sell me some extra shit. in any event i can do w/o drls they have already caused me alot BS cracking and all. im gona buy aftermarket headlamps later and dont wana repeat this crap gona go with leds signal lamps.

 

As soon as I start the Truck, the DRL come on. It doesn't matter whether it is in gear (automatic) or if the park brake is in use. I can shut them off at the stalk.

 

Welcome to die!!

This worked like a charm for me.

 

Those of you who have--or are considering--disabling your truck's "Daytime Running Lights". Might want to check with an attorney and ask how much your increased liability might cost should you be involved in a wreck. Those lights are there for a reason. Would you consider disabling your taillights???

 

That is a little different. They don't give you an option to disable tail lights with a switch on the stalk

 

My taillights only comes on when I press the brakes. IIRC drl is required in Canada.

 

No liability. It is not a federal requirement. Yet.

 

drl's are optional except in cananandia. no legal issues I know of...your state may vary

personally I always turn on headlights going to work, headed home after work,
and anytime on highway...no matter how much sun there is...being seen a mile
away is better than being seen only 100 yards away
