No more DRL after changing high beam bulbs to LED (1 Viewer)

[OEMGUY0720]

I recently took out my high beam halogen Sylvana headlight bulbs for an LED bulb:

I noticed the DRL disappeared. How can I put back the DRL? Wiring? Change to a different LED bulb?

Would appreciate for someone who encountered this and what was your solution for this. Thanks in advance.

youll probably have to change back to halogen as the drl is just the high beams that get duty cycled on and off to give a lower light output

LED DRL and High Beam for LX and LC

Page 4 has a possible solution for the 98-2002 to run this setup 2003-2007 LED DRL/HIGH BEAM KIT The LED DRL /High Beam Kit is now available in a limited quantity on my site www.lbbuiltwerks.com . The kit will include the 2Stroke LED bulbs a resistor and a harness. The kits vary based on LX...

DRL on the 100 is just a voltage drop on the highs. You cannot run most leds. Some will accept a finished voltage drop but it will be unreliable.

side note, the bulbs you bought are likely going to blind people. Run good quality halogens -or- don’t be cheap and get a good led replacement that actually designed to function in halogen housing. I’ve had goodperformance with the hikari ultras.

At least they’re in a high beam and hopefully only used when people aren’t around.

truth. I’m also assuming the op put them in the low beam as well.

Not many things more irritating/dangerous the poorly aimed headlights and cheap led replacements in halogen housing.

Why I have an hid projector retrofit.

nice! On my list of things to do.

Why not do the same for the highs?

Can, just more work, but my Tacoma is a single high/low.
