They are readily available in my area. Three different named auto parts stores carry only them and they are available at WalMart as well. Can't find any JDMs except on line.

Forget the "Super Bright" Sylvanias. Saw a pair on sale at a good price so I said what the heck, give'em a try. Maybe at best half as bright as the incandescent.

Try this guy, might be willing to custom build you something to your specifications... Home

I did see any replacement DRL LED's listed for 2014 and up

Seems the best economical solution might be a "rewired" 4 pin trailer light extension cord. I had to get a 4 pin extension to get power to the short lead on the Bully CR-007A.

If an extension were wired so that when plugged into the trailer connector and Bully, the Bully bulb brake light function were on when the tail lights are on, that would give the desired brightness. And the brake light wire(s) on the extension not powered when braking. Then just use the brightest red LED 1157 I can find to reduce current/heat from the incandescent brake light. LED might be necessary with the brake light on continuously with tail lights.

This would also allow the "cheap" Bully to be periodically replaced when needed with no further mods.

So any ideas on the rewire?? And I'll check out the custom site.

Headlights – High Beams

- Installing LED bulbs into the ‘14+ T4Rs is complicated by the fact that they also serve as the Daytime Running Lights (DRLs). In order for and LED bulb to function correctly in the HB spot (i.e. without flickering), you’d need a relay (like the CanBUS sold by XenonDepot)…and unfortunately this relay would make the DRLs have the same intensity as the high beams because these LEDs do not dim. Alternately, you can disable the DRLs and run LEDs in your HB spot.

Disabling the DRLs: DRL Disable but keep Auto Headlights

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your question, but the above quote is why replacing the OEM combo HB / DRLs with LED bulbs on '14 and up won't really work as a "plug n play" mod. In order to run LED DRLs, you have to install different DRLs (like, in a different spot, which would require running / splicing new wiring). There are a couple of different options for this listed in the second post of this thread.

Thank you for the help. I'm probably not explaining it correctly that link shows the amber outside blinker. I want to change that bulb on the inside near the grill that's the DRL bulb. It goes off when you turn the headlights on. And it's Kind of dim. I wanted to be like an LED bulb with that bluish tint .

I think maybe you're misunderstanding what I'm saying. That dim bulb you're talking about near the grille is indeed the DRL, but it's also the high beam- turn your high beams on and go look outside the truck and you'll see what I mean. The DRLs and High Beams are the same bulb / spot on the '14 and newer T4Rs, the truck just runs the 9005 bulb at a lower current to produce dimmer DRL light. Replacing this bulb with an LED is complicated by this fact for the reasons I noted in the quote earlier.

If all you care about is the whiter light, you could buy a blue tinted halogen bulb such as the Philips CrystalVision that would allow you to get the whiter light and preserve the functionality of the DRL / High Beams.

Don't you hate it. Toyota screwed the front lighting in 5th gen T4R by trying to be "smart ass" and use computer (ECU) to control last century technology (Edison bulbs). Early models (pre 2014) have blinkers as DRL, later have high beam as DRL. What's wrong with just adding a dedicated bulb for DRL, Toyota?

Yep , thank you I was not getting it. I will re-read thread.

This is the bulb I was referring to. It will give you a whiter light from the DRLs and High Beams. Since all you are doing is replacing the bulb, it will work for both while an LED will not.

9005 - Philips CrystalVision Ultra 9005CVS2 bulb

Good luck.

Thank you so much for the part number

What does the options mean? What's CANbus and 2015+ Mopar?

I planning on getting the h11 hids.
