    It’s a great option. Nice of them to make it easier for people.

    I definitely understand not wanting to spend $100+ on wires for an unimpressive backlight.

    I’m not certain but I don’t think theirs combines DRL and Park, I think it just feeds Park to the backlight.

    I think it has the diodes hidden in the wire wrap/sheath...:burp:

    Strange design for sure. Could go to 1 pos amp instead of spade. No good reason to tap the ground wire either.

    But good that they offer something inexpensive which gets the job done.

    Purchase a set and remove sheath. We should've patented the product.:(:D

    So for the 2nd gen Tacoma, do you need a special wiring harness to have the Amber backlight function?
