WOW! Yours was quick! I ordered mine on January 25th. My dealer said he didn't know which port it was coming through.

Holy crap, I'd get on your dealers butt lol. I was on my sales manager every day until they gave me a vin number, when it got to port and when they sent it out on the truck

I would look on the forums and see people getting there's and go up to the sales tower and show my manager, I guess my consistent nagging paid off lol.

wait a second, @Zen86 do you really think the way we did it only using the resistor will cause damage? After reading that other thread now I feel worried

No, I don't know 100% it will cause damage. Others have gone with out a diode with success. I placed a diode on mine as a safety precaution.

When placing a wire between two points you are opening a path for both to have power when one of them is on. A resistor only restricts how much power is going from one to the other. It doesn't stop the loop.

That's where a diode comes in. A diode is like a traffic conductor. It'll let power flow from one end to the other but if power tries to go the other way it'll stop it. Power flows from ringless to ring.

In my case my set up is: hid - diode - resistor - drl
Resistor only resists the amount of power.

Hid on : power flows from hid to diode to resistor to drl, powering both on. Since the ring of the diode is on the drl side, the diode allows the power to flow thru

Drl on: power flows from drl to resistor to diode. Since the ring is on the drl side, the diode acts as a wall to stop power from going into the hid.

Without the diode there when the drl turns on technically the hid has power too. It's not so much power that it'll harm the hid. But it's on, sorta.

My other post just means I won't run a wire from hid to drl with out a resistor/diode managing the power. It might (key term might) cause some harm.

Hopefully that make sense.

Sorry for the tread jack =/

EDIT: I am no means an expert in this field. I've just had a few hands on experiences where I've messed up wiring due to not incorporating some fail safe to handle power. haha

I love sitting outside looking at the car. She's just beautiful.

Today is my birthday! 3/5/14 and guess what made my birthday all so special? Taking home my Raven monogram with all the fixings. I have no idea have to post pix in forum. And the TRD wheels come staggered. Found out the hard way. Quick shifter is AMAZING! TRD sway bars makes a difference as well!

What's wrong with the staggered wheels?

Hey my birthday was today too.
Cheers to the birthday!

Here's Seige's DIY http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=50790 DIY for components. Also Monogram wire color is different from 10 Series.
Edit: Wrong Wire numbers: Headlight is #5- Blue. DRL is #1- Brown
See Projek_1's instruction http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=44066

Took me about 30 min to do mostly because it was my first time soldering.
PM me if anybody wants to do this and has questions

so I see you are basically tapping into the regular headlight power and juicing the drl led.

what if you were to tap into the side marker power lights? the side markers turn on with parking lights, headlights, and high beams.

this way the drl leds would power on when you have the parking lights on (and of course with the headlights and high beams on)

Somewhat better pictures, I got home last night and realized, my hard drive on my MacBook crapped out on me, so I took "somewhat" better pictures with my little cousins note 3.

Actually nothing at all. I just wanted 18" x 7.5" square my own personal preference. Proper tire rotation etc. Avoid having to buy all new tires sooner than I have to.
