    Won't come on as parking lights but they light up when I put my hazards on. Any clue what the problem is? Bought new bulbs thinking they were burned up but nope.

    I am having this same problem with my 2011 Taco. I am curious to find out what the problem is.

    The parking lights are the small orange bulbs in the outside corners of the front light assemblies.

    The turn signal/hazards are the ones facing directly forward. These same bulbs are also daytime running lights if equipped, most 06s were not equipped, most 2011s seem to be.

    The turn signal/hazards do use a dual element bulb, but one element is not wired up. Normal.

    If you are feeling generous you could dig up the thread about adding factory DRL. If you're extra generous you'll link to the melting turn signal lens thread as well. :D

    Ok, I got the two mixed up. I could've swore my driving lights used to come on though. Now they only come on if the hazards are going.
