Is there a way to add DRLs to a 3rd gen 2018 non-DRL model?

    I was looking into the spyder headlights, but they require the vehicle to have DRL. Is there a way to add this to my Tacoma? Sorry if the question is stupid, just recently getting into this.

    You have stock LED DRL. Should be plug and play for the aftermarket set.

    I looked at the picture listed on their website and it shows the difference between DRL and non-DRL lights. Is it possible someone switched the headlight on mine before I bought it? Here is a picture of my Taco.

    Have you changed anything on the truck? I'm guessing you bought it used? A few things stand out to me. Sport hood, Or wheels and bed badge I'm assuming, limited fog bezels, pro grille insert, and sr/5 heads. Your truck is having an identity crisis.

    Yea I bought it used, salvage to be exact. It had the tech package w/leather interior and the color I wanted. Is there a way to tell if it really is a OR or if it has DRL?

    Missed matchs parts for sure. Does TSS work without the garnish?

    Ok so I think I do have the OR, my truck has the Crawl feature which I believe the SR5 does not come with. So I should be able to change the SR5 headlights and plug-n-play with the aftermarket kit. right?

    I'm guessing you have an OR that was wrecked and when they put it back together they put SR5 headlights In It .

    If you have crawl control it is 100% an OR. Should be good to go.

    Looking at the truck there is a lot going on with the sub model components. But yes, you should be good to go.

    For sure an Off-Road with parts from Limited and SR5 trims.
