    I was asking more about the way your DRL works in the headlight… I’m not expert and might be wrong but some have the LED “L” and some have the turn bulbs acting as the DRL… maybe…
    Like on the pic, that’s the led drl. Older headlights they don’t have a light there

    Nah no "L" here, I had bought Blacked out Depo TRD ones that were compatible with SR5 models so I had the LED L but from factory I have basic projectors.

    The DRL switch is meant for LED DRL. Maybe you should look at your headlights with the switch on. Or post a pic of the harness of your vehicle.

    WTF? So you have DEPO headlights with the L LED and no connector to it?

    Has anyone seen anymore info on these yet from Form Lighting to be released on 5/10, they are supposed to be full LED as well.

    Best options I've seen are OEM and Morimoto.

    Do they manufacture the headlights or just a retailer?

    Quick question for any and all... I have a 2020 Pro with OEM LEDs. I added some raptor lights with an add a fuse through the RH LO fuse. All was well for a while then i tried some different 10 A spots to go for a more continuous light and needless to say, something changed and I no longer get the bright DRL. I get the dim only. So it doesn't dim when I add the headlight. Just the one power. Any ideas?

    I make an LED T harness for grille lights to avoid the pain of add a fuse. In case you are interested. Link in my sig to the fbc storefront.

    Thank you for such a quick reply. I checked the DRL fuse and it seems to be fine. Swapped with another 10A that I knew foe certain was fine and no change. Low DRL only.

    Wish I had know that before I did the fuse. Having said that, I am currently looking at adding the Meso V5 and some puddle and footwell lights. Is there something you have to get the dim functionality for the V5?

    Parking Brake it was! If you're ever up in great white north, I'll take you out for a beer. Thanks for your help.
