I returned mine to stock before having it done. Then once I got home loaded my tune back up and they are still coming on.

I have a question for you all that have gotten the DRL's turned on, do you lose the capability of having the auto-lamps feature? Reason why I'm asking, I called one of the dealers in town about doing my DRL's. He said he didn't know how to do it, but he's heard that it can be done, but you lose the auto-lamps feature. He said you can't have DRL's and auto-lamps functions working at the same time.

Is it true?

Any thoughts?!?

The DRL's on my 2013 (non projector) are the headlight bulbs. Is there anyway I can have them switched to be the amber inner bulbs like in the pic in the first post?

As RES4CUE said, you can't cure stupid. But, being an old retired Po - Po I say even if the DRL's help a small percentage, it may be that small percentage will work in your favor one day.

OP, thanks for the thread. I'll have mine turned on at the next oil change.

No you don't. They work like normal. When they are off the DRL's come on.

I am at the dealer now getting my recall PCM done and was told that to turn on my RDL's on it had to be one of the models that was made for either Canada or US. If it was a US only built truck that it doesn't have this option on the 2013's. anyone else have this told to them ??

Don't see that would be possible, mine are the HID and are the front turn signals used for DRL. On my 11 it had plain halogen lights and the drl function was the headlights.
