    Hi all,

    Took the truck offroading this afternoon and came home to find my right front daytime running light bulb died. I have a 2011 Tacoma, no prior problems.

    Granted, my truck is COVERED in dust/dirt. Could it simply be a dirty connector/wire? Also, the turn signal clicks rapidly (the right rear blinker blinks rapidly -- front blinker still doesn't work). I tried searching for prior threads, but couldn't find anything of substance.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Build thread coming soon!
    The DTRL and the signal light are the same bulb.
    I'd wager a guess that the off roading shook what life was left out of the filament. They have probably never been changed, no?
    If you need to do one, do both- the other side won't be far behind

    ^That. It's blinking rapidly to let you know you have a bulb out.

    The bulbs have never been changed. Didn't think I needed to after only two years. :confused:

    The lifespan of these bulbs is shortened on our trucks because of the double duty they perform... more often than not, they're lit
