    Hi and need some help here. I have no or not working DRL's, as far as I can tell. The big yellow turn signal light next to the headlight only functions as a turn signal. It does not come on at any other time, no matter what position I have the light swtch in. In the middle position it only turns on the tail lights. Please help me understand if I even have DRL's or if they are not working properly due to something else. Thanks

    Not sure what the specs were for having DTRL's, maybe only hte TRD's do or something, but I know that some 2nd gens have them and some don't.

    Here's mine on my 05. They are on when the light switch is set to off and I believe they turn on when I turn the light switch to on. Can't remember what they do on the middle setting.

    IDK what i have. there are only 2 wires running to that light. one has to be a ground, but it had a 2 filament bulb in it. a 2 circuit bulb with only one hot?? unlike a brake/ turn with running lights that have 2 filament bulbs and it has 3 wires. 2 hot for running and brake/ turn combination
