    The lights and wiring are the same for all vehicles. You do not use your old parking lights. You plug in the new amber light on the attached new harness into the socket on the new lights. The 3 pin plug that connects to your old existing amber light now connects directly to the new 3 pin connector on the new harness.
    This comes off of your old amber light harness:

    and connects to this on the new harness:

    lights I got on the sr5 are two prong ? That’s why I’m trying to confirm this

    I thought the amber drl on SR5's had a 3 pin connector. The Sport has a 2 pin because the amber is not a drl on the Sports.

    Try contacting them directly and definitely leave a message if you get their VM or email them. They're pretty responsive and can hopefully get you sorted out quickly.

    @GLL40 said the new male plug would not fit in the existing female plug. If anyone had this issue, and resolved it, pm him to see if you can help.

    Just ordered a set for my SR5. Does anyone that did not have to use the SR5 LED DRL modules have them still and willing to ship to me? I would like to have an extra set just in case.

    Thanks in advance.

    I am still looking for sets myself. In case you are worried you will have all you need in the kit for 1 truck. Very simple plug and play.

    Yeah would like to have an extra set of the module just in case mine fails. Don't want to be stuck with headlights that don't work anymore for my SR5cdown the road.

    Did you guys figure out where to mount those resistor plates? I'm probably gonna use mine to do LED's in my Depo Pro taillights. Tail-As-Turn mod is a must have IMO!

    If u just want the resistors to wire in call these guys & tell them what you're looking for
