help I just bought my first tacoma it's a 2005 prerunner Sr5. does it have drl

I am the second owner it Has 140,000 drives so good I love it could anyone help me with what to look for on the subject of it having drl...any advice would be great thanks

 

just turn the lights off, then go out and look at the headlights.

 

There should be a DRL setting on the head light stalk/switch. It is the second setting. It will not be the headlights, but the amber markers.

 

drl will be on when the lights are in the OFF position

 

This is not a HELP situation.

 

Off is Off, DRL is DRL and parking/marker lights are just that. There has to be a way to turn the lights off completely.

 

Drl are on when lights are off. There is no blackout on the lights...

 

'05 Tacoma does not have DRL's unless it is from Canada. But they should have automatic headlight off, when you leave them in the on position and turn the key off and open the door. I'm not sure what year that stopped and was attached to the key fob lock button two push.

 

Yep, just remember to release the parking brake to get them to come on. If you start the truck they will not kick on until the parking brake is off.

Well that a good thing since you're not helping

On mine and his the light stalk gives you the option of headlights on, parking lights, or off. If it is in the parking light or off position you will get the DRL, provided they are enabled on the truck. At least that's how it works on my 2008

 

I have a 2005 prerunner sr5 and no DRL

 

Ok then thanks everyone I wasn't to sure I just ordered my kit for it so hopefully from reading on here it will be right and my lights do cut off with the truck so....I am looking to do a lot more mods only had my Tacoma a week and will never go back to any other love it

 

Make sure after you install them that you check your headlight housings every once in a while cause some owners were having issues with melting from the bulb being on full the whole time. I added factory DTRLs to my truck to but took them off shortly after just cause of this reason so just keep an eye out.

 

^^^Ok I will they say to take the piece out that's in front of the bulbs so I will look out for it

 

I also had aftermarket yellow bulbs so that might have been the issue too.

 

Why not do the mod that has your driving lights on when there is power to them, instead of only if the lights are on?
