    Hello all!
    I just purchased my first 4Runner and actually my first new vehicle ever at 30 years old. I have had several Toyotas over the years, I bought a 2000 Tacoma when I was about 19 years old, I still own that one. I have also had a Highlander, a ‘16 Tacoma , and a ‘16 Tundra (1794)

    But this is my first 4Runner. It’s a 2023 SR5. We looked at a trd off road, but honestly the sr5 just fit the budget better. It has LEDs everywhere, except the DRL. Is there an LED I can replace those with, without it causing a dummy light or having a flicker? It honestly drives me crazy being the only halogen bulbs in the car.

    Thanks in advanced.

    Oooh look, another mod.....

    I just did this upgrade recently. I installed 'switchback' style LED's for the DRL/Blinker. They are plug-n-play, no need for a resistor.

    Correct. I have a video of it somewhere, if you want to see it.

    Here are pictures of what it looks like:



    This is what the DRL looks with the factory halogen bulb:

    You're correct. Sorry, I was thinking "running lights", not DRL. My bad.


    EDIT: LasFit makes an LED bulb for that though.
