My only concern with this set up...the 4157NA burn out faster because it is using only 1 filament for DRL and Turn signal (even though 2 fialment are available)> It is constant running the on 25Watt filament. I guess DRL will always be brighter versus the 3 wire setup on some of the 2003-2005 Runners..
Youre explanation makes sense. Not sure when Toyota decided change the set up..
So mine is pretty much similar to yours. TWO wires in the #2,#3 pin slot #1 being empty.....Using D4157NA bulb and socket.. Relay trigger flashing and no flashing depending on whether the trigger (turning signal lever is raised or lower) is on/off.
Sorta defeats the purpose of a dual filament bulb. lol
I see some members turning on DRL by changing out the relay if it didnt come with DRL from factory option. They would use the D7440 bulb..which burns out quicker due to 1 filament for DRL and TUrning signal...
