    Fog light mod working on led mod
    Okay I have daytime running lights. I need to know if all I need to do is change out the electronic flasher relay and which one do I need exactly or do I need to do anything else thanks for any help. The reason I'm asking is all the Flasher relays I find for LEDs say they are for non DRL

    As far as I know, nobody makes a flasher that works with DRL equipped Tacos. Your choices are, convert your truck to non DRL or install resistors or modify your flasher or do some very creative wiring using 3 relays.

    There is a flasher mod...(somewhat technical and some trial and error) I ended up going with resistors.... over 5 years ago.
