Forgot the before...
The interior light is also from HID-PH. (But I'm changing it out for a custom multi-color unit.)

@KI_ZN6,
I am VERY interested in your LED DRLs!

I currently have a set of LED DRLs from another vendor here so I won't mention them directly. They have great customer service and overall are a good company but I honestly need something brighter. They look fine when its overcast/dawn/dusk but in bright sunlight are barely visible.

If you shoot me a PM we can discuss further on the specifics but if yours are that much brighter, I will put in an order today!

i tried some LED DRLs/Hi-beams and i gotta say. although they look great when they're on. they look absolutely retarded when off, actually even when they're on during the day. i disabled my DRLs so they're almost always off so i couldn't justify keeping them. i'm willing to sell them actually if anybody is interested.

here are some day and night shots:

These LED DRL are high quality and come from Southeast Toyota. If you already install HID with DRL delete these are OEM looking. My bro installed a set on his 2012 Tacoma and look pretty cool, they are bright and dim when you turn on headlights. http://toyotaofmcdonoughparts.net/pr...running-lights

I upgraded my lights to HIDs and LED DRL. Since this is my first time doing this, I'm just wondering is it normal that the DRL cannot be activated by flipping my knob to DRL mode? I can get my LEDs to turn on if I turn on the high beam or flip the knob to my low beams, but if I just flip it to DRL, it won't turn on.

Is that normal or am I missing something?

MT? If so..is your parking brake (hand brake) engaged? It will kill the DRL's when the brake is applied.

Yeah that was exactly the problem, haha. Was installing and testing near my garage which has a bit of an incline so had the brake on. I don't even deserve this car after making such a silly mistake. I figured it out as soon as I made the post and had the biggest facepalm after. Thanks!

Also props to @KI_ZN6 from HID Powerhouse, got my LED DRL and HIDs from them. They are super bright and just look awesome.

Thanks -DK- for ordering from us! Enjoy your HID and LED upgrades
