With the drl mod added to them from fteightysix like I have, it makes it so that they stay on all the time other than when the ebrake is up. Unlike stock where the LED drls turn off when the headlights are on.

Because I don't like the looks of DRL's. It should be my choice. Thankfully it still is. When I get my new 4Runner hopefully I can turn them off in it too.

I'm thinking that I never would (almost never) leave my car running in neutral and exit it, without setting the parking brake........ so, I would never see my machines DRLs, even if they were ugly.

So, I left my car running and got out and looked at the DRLs. I think they look pretty neat.

What a relief for me, now knowing, that I'm not driving around with ugly front lights, just for the sake of safety .......


humfrz - another slow day in Puyallup ......
Shall I take a drive down there some time and entertain you to pass the day?

Sure ...... come on down.......

We will start the day by feeding my granddaughters breakfast, then run them down to their school. After that we will hit the meat market and the bank and Walmart.

Then we will have a break to .......check ..... The Forum ....... by that time it will be time to pick up the granddaughters from school and feed them a snack. Then grandma takes over, helping them with their homework and I get kicked off both of my computers, while they complete parts of their homework assignments.

That gives me a chance to prepare and cook supper.

Yep, come on down ....... we will have a blast .......

LOL! That actually sounds like fun!

Minus the first part, that's basically what I did when I went to go hang out with Ultra for a day. We spent like 10 minutes on my car, then watched TV for the whole day.


Ooooooo, lets set up and have a car meet at Walmart! If we get in trouble by security, just tell them that its to help bring in more business!

The drl on my 2013, only turned on one headlight at half power. It looks bad. Headlights on are better. I unplugged the resistor box. It's under the bumper. Additionally, this happenes to be what one of my first posts was about.... Back it 2012....

Edit: it was my very first post... takes me back.http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...102#post323102

Tomorrow night is pot roast, Simmered all day in a slow cooker, with my secret blend of herbs and spices.

mrs humfrz made me buy the giant slow cooker, so I could cook enough for us and our daughter to take home for her husband and our granddaughters ...... plus leftovers for both families. I have this 10 pound package of chuck roast .... so we will have enough for you too.

If it only turned on one lamp, that's a problem.

The FR-S DRL is actually the high beam illuminated at low (half?) power. That's why it looks yellow. This is actually a good economical use of available resources. The high beam is used at full power only a fraction of the time. Operated at low power, it doesn't cut into the life of the bulb. Running all the lights during the day uses up the life of all the bulbs.

Now, as far as disconnecting the DRL resistor, I'm not a fan. The electrical contacts are exposed to the elements. Kill it in the software. That's why the option exists.

Maybe a better idea, since the weather has turned warm, would have the neighbor girls come over and wash our cars ........ then we could take a couple of them a drive down some twisties out in the country.

Yeah, I did this in 2012. OP's post about the drl took me back to my first post. I drive in the country, my highs are on at least half the time. Stock Low beams are great drl. Bulb life is really not that big of a deal.
