Well, here's a couple pics..not the best one but you get the idea.

First one shows both turn indicators acting as daytime running lights. They also work as normal when making turns.

Second pic shows where i mounted module under the hood. Hard to tell but it's just to the right of the fusebox in the picture (shiny black small cylinder). It's about the size of a large 35mm film canister, cylindrical, with about 7 wires to connect or splice.

Here's a easier way of wiring the front bumper park lights with 5 pin bosch relay, the only con would be, the bumper lights will flash alternatly of the T/S in the fenders. Each side will need it's own relay. This idea is from Duffdog.

You can do it with a simple 5 pin relay-- 30 to bulb, 87 to Park light +12v, 86 to gnd of blinker lights (since toyotas are switched ground) and 85 to +12 from running lights. 87a connects to nothing since you want the light to turn off when the blinker blinks it.

Morning all,

Just wondering if anybody else has done this modification with the WebElectric DRL module that Jon used?.... any comments, good or bad?

I'm looking at using the same DRL module on a 2004 Tacoma, but I've been advised that burning the turn-signals continuously, which they were never intended to do, might not be a great plan.

Thanks in advance.

Ewan
