    Just keep throwin' money at it.
    I ran a research on the topic and cannot seem to find the answer, so maybe you all can help.

    Issue: my DTRL are timing out after about 5min of run time. I recently installed an ARB bumper and tapped the ARB turn signals into the DTRLs per the instructions. Anyway, after about 5min of run time the lights (both DTRL and ARB turn signals) shut themselves off. Once I use the turn signals whatever side I turn on will stay on for another roughly 5min, but the other side will not activate.

    Thoughts on this? I was debating that the current draw was too high, but that would be a common problem then I believe and I have not read about anyone else having this issue. I was thinking swapping to LEDs with less draw/heat might solve the problem as well.

    i had similar issues when i installed my arb, you can run a relay or buy lower voltage bulbs to stop them from shutting out. I opted for the lower volted turn bulbs in the arb and not an issue since.
