    Hey guys quick question- I have purchased a 2010 Taco that from what I'm told does not have day time running lights which is a problem for me when night hunting. My turn signals flash from the bright amber lights on either side of the front grill, while my "running lights" are the corner lights , which in my opinion should be the turn signal lights for easier indication to others at an intersection. Does anyone know if I can purchase a relay or something that turns my corn lights to turn signals & and my amber lights outside of grill to running/parking lights as I see on every other Tacoma ? Any advice or part numbers an where to purchase I'd much appreciate thanks

    Don't know if you can switch your lights around but you can add a switch to your DTRL for "stealth mode" when hunting. There's a thread somewhere in here

    I don't have day time running lights - my turn signals flash from the lights that everyone's tacomas use for running/parking lights. And my "running"lights are my corner Amber lights. I need them the other way around

    There's probably a legal requirement that turn signals must be visible from directly ahead of your truck - that's why some vehicles flash both grill-mounted and side-mounted turn signals on the front.
