Disable DRL's

my base auto has them...gonna get rid of em tomorrow

 

Correct, I disabled my drls this way and had nothing else affected

 

Wish mine had DRLs Maybe people would stop pulling out in front of me 30ft away going -25 mph if I did. Anyone know if there is a way to add that in?

 

DRLs don't help with that. I have them and people still act like they didn't see me.

 

I cannot find the drl box underneath my steering wheel. I don't see the box anywhere. I have a 2002 2.7l double Tacoma. Anybody else having a problem locating the wire? Somebody help pleaseeee

 

It's under the hood. Driver side

 

Step 1 start truck
Step 2 Turn lights on

 

Where under the hood on drivers side? I knOw I probably sound like a idiot but I have litterally looked a good 2 hours for the DRL box so I can cut the green and white wire but the box is nowhere to be found. Like I know every says it's underneath steering wheel a little to the right but it's not there on mine. I'll check again under hood tomorrow. Like I said I have a 2002 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab 2.7l. Maybe mine is different?

 

It should be under the dash of the drivers side like right above the Accelerator. its a black box thats bolted to a mounting bracket with a sticker that says 'Daytime running lights' (which might have fallen off from the years) Hope I helped cause I just cut mine

 

Just curious cause ive found multiple 2nd gen DRL toggle switch (stealth mode) has anyone added a switch like what Crom (found his thread on his DRL mod)

 

I have a switch on mine.
I did use Crom's mod thread.

 

Hows it holding up cause I read some posts from others on his thread that some people lost DRL completely

 

It's all good. The only reason that I feel it would conk out on me would be from my own error.
It made it through a very hard NE winter. I think it will hold.
Just curious, what were the specific issues you have heard about?

 

Well if you go throughout the thread (cause I like to get everyones opinion and see how there "trial and error" went. but anyways there have been where some guys completely lost DRL even with hooking up the wire straight back together however theres multiple ways it couldve stopped working.. like for
example: 1. Blown fuse?
2. A wiring problem else where.
3. Bad DRL module (not sure what theyre called)
4. etc. who knows what the electrical gremlins have done!

 

Yeah, I ran into an issue as a result of my own human error. The crimps I made weren't strong enough.
Some people don't know that the DRLs don't come on with the e-brake engaged (add me to the list) hahaha
I am very happy with how it all turned out. I did ask for help from a few people.
FYI - I have Jumpers switchbacks in there with a switch. Had to add the DRL module, my 2011 didn't have it.

 

Ah I see, well at least yours was fixable I just hope the few others found the fix.
And I knew all along cause I always engage my E-brake hahaha
Just curious how long have you had it on and all power to you man! Im planning to do this mod I just wanted to get others opinions and what not. But how are the jumpers holding up? and did you tape them up? Cause im planning on using Crimp spade connectors since I have some left over from my 1st mod and theyll be kind of an easier to disconnect if I ever need to

 

Jumper's stuff is great! Highly recommended.
I did a crimp, tape and liquid tape.
Wanted to be sure that they were not going to get shitted up.
Yeah, the disconnection - my philosophy is that everything is replaceable. Just depends on how much $$ ya wanna spend.

 

Do you mind showing me a picture of your set up? sounds like that shits not moving anytime soon
thats very true.. haha but I like to go by do right the first time. even though shit happens

 

I will post some stuff up for you. Not really much to see. It is all internal (stuck behind plastic now).
I had that whole under dash ripped open for it.
I will show you the final results.

 

Ah, alright. No worries but Id still like to see your installation haha pictures are still worth a 1000s words
