2021 Limited DRL LED swap any solutions?

Hi everyone,

I am wondering if they came up with a solution to change out the DRLs to led bulbs on a 2021 Limited (2020 limited) as well if I am correct that comes with low and high beam leds from factory.

I think there’s a lot of hesitance to do so, because they’re likely dimmed by PWM (pulse width modulation) which works beautifully for halogen bulbs but makes LED and HID flicker.

Combine this with the sketchy nature of the solutions from places with names like “headlight pros” (I’m making this name up) whose kits claim to be all inclusive with “CANBUS/warning cancellers”. More often than not, they cause the kit to not work at all vs flickering.

So you may find the perfect bulbs but still have to try 3 or 4 different companies’ resistors or capacitors before you find the winning combination. For DRL, I think this is where most people have given up.

A few years ago I installed Morimoto 2 Stroke 2.0 in the low beam and looked for quite a while to find something. I never found any that seemed like they would work for high beam/DRL combo. Still have the halogen high beams...

The name of this company (XenonDepot) makes me nervous! But the description is specific to 5th Gen 4Runners and sounds like this is purpose-made.

XD has been around quite awhile and has a pretty good following. Wathed a few you tube videos and they seem like they might be worth a shot.

I've got the XD Xtreme LED Pro high beams with DRL drivers. I've had no issues with them, they work as advertised, were easy to install, and are BRIGHT!

I've also got their Xtreme HID low beams. Again, no issues, work as advertised, easy to install, and are an amazing upgrade over stock (I even did the high beam bulb in the low beam mod for a while and it's nowhere near as bright or clear as these HIDs). I also got their CMB LED bulbs for the fogs, which are good as well.

Don't let the "Depot" part of the name fool you into believing that they're some cut rate hack job. They're good to go and their products are well made.

Yep I heard of Xenon Depot and I know they are quality Leds/Hids as I have used them in my previous vehicles. $200 for DRL bulbs seems kind of steep as I won't be using the High Beam feature of it. I was hoping for a solution in the $100 range. Turning them off is another option I guess but I would rather just prefer crisp white DRLs.

I have XD LEDs with DRL drivers on my 2014 and they work as advertised. However, I am pretty sure they will not work on the 21 Limiteds and Pros as on these the OEM halogen bulb is DRL only, no longer high beam. The wiring and power to bulb is now different.

I will try moving one of these bulbs from my 14 Limited to my 21 Pro just to see later today, but I am sure it will not work.

I'm reviving this to see if anyone has figured out LED DRLs. We just picked up a '22 Limited, and it still has the halogen DRLs. There was speculation on another forum based on a promo video for the TRD Pro, that the '22s would get LED DRLs, but sadly that isn't the case.

On our 2017, I had the optional LED fogs that worked as DRLs, and looked pretty awesome, but this one already came with LED fogs, so I hate to swap them out with the older style kit.

Hi, I also just picked up a '22 Limited. So far I have not found a LED bulb to replace the filament one. Someone suggested looking up what type of bulb it is and getting the LED equivalent.

Also, someone mentioned turning off DRLs. I think I'm going to do that and run with lights in the grill. I ordered the raptor lights lower grill kit from 4runnerlifestyle:4Runner Raptor Lights (2010-2022) — 4Runner Lifestyle

You can do a little mod like seen here...

DRLs in '22 Limited (and probably others with factory LED headlights)
