the moment no, the truck is in the shop having a timing job done. Im hopeful Ill get it back today but that depends on if he has any other emergency repairs fall in today. The white is wired into the side markers and then there is one wire running to the turn signal positive wire to trigger the switchback.

Correct, we have no good aftermarket headlight options, imo.

Well, you don't have a WORKING DRL and the resistor isn't there, but the relay and the circuit is. It's a good one to use as you can connect to it under the hood. There's an aux relay box on the left fender. You can easily remove it, pop the bottom off and have access to the harness, so the tap can be enclosed in the box. It's powered on start, and it's in the fuseblock as part of the lighting circuit.

Relay highlighted in yellow:



The DLR relay on mine (4x4) is R201:









You've already wired yours, but perhaps this may be helpful for someone else who is installing a LED DLR and hasn't figured out how to wire it.

That's awesome! I knew the circuit was there somewhere as they all come with generally the same harnesses. In my 02 I bought one piece and had DRL on it. I may rewire my LEDs this way! Just tie into the (appears) orange wire and ground it? That's a piece of cake!

Can you get a couple better pictures of the wiring?

Yea, either blackened or euro style and that's pretty much it... I have the euro with LED lamps, and they're.... okay.

Thats why I liked the XGLOW in the video. I was thinking of doing that (I think the sequential TS is awesome) with my OE lamps, but then I'd have to install an HID or LED lamp in addition to the whole removing the lens to install which really seems like a PITA.

Better how? I thought those were pretty decent

I can see the red wire tapped into the orange (maybe pink) with yellow stripe but is the green wire also tapped in with those?

The green wire just happens to be below the connector; it is not actually tapped.

The red wire (power) which runs from the LED DRL is tapped into the red/yel wire in the relay housing.

There's a t-tap on the red/yel and the red wire with blade plugs into the t-tap.
