ANTMAN MOD #9
Always on DRL's (Daytime Running Lights)
Some of you expressed that you would like your DRL to be on whenever you want. In stock form they automatically turn off whenever the headlights are on. This MOD is very easy! Took me 5 minutes (after the troubleshooting session....
: )
The DRL will be on anytime the truck is running, regardless of which lights are on or off. The stalk will
not turn the DRL's off anymore (I
may work on that one later - EDIT- DONE, but it's a royal PITA http://www.toyota-4runner.org/963785-post319.html )
If you want to be able to turn the DRL's off, I'll explain that in a minute.
Oh yeah, your turn signals will still work as normal.
Let's get to it...
arty:
This is the wire you need to tap into and ground. Plug #F11-White, Pin #5. The wire color is light green.
Now would be the time to praise Nashman69g for posting the EWD...again!

Grab this panel and pull it towards you to access the plug - no tools needed.

Here is the wire. You can see the hole in mine from the test probe...

Use a pink 3M wire tap, or similar and tap into the wire to connect a wire lead for the ground.

Here is a good ground that's close, same as used for my Fog MOD.

Taaaa Daaaaaa
Fogs+DRL ( I have ultra white DRL bulbs, and yellow PIAA fogs)

EVERYTHING ON (Headlights, Hi beams, Fogs, DRL's)
I know it's hard to see...

As I stated before, the DRL's will be on whenever the truck is running.
If you want to still be able to turn them off, simply run the tapped wire lead to a switch, and the other terminal on the switch will need to be grounded. I will do that next unless I can figure out how to turn them off with the stalk again...
EDIT- I improved upon this MOD:
Version 9.1
Happy Modding gentleman!
