Tpballs, do you know what slot they used when they installed your lights? Maybe take a picture if you aren't sure...that could make a difference in the over-all intensity of the outline led if you are plugged into a slot that 'steps down' in voltage in certain scenarios (i.e. when headlights are turned on).

I leave my lights in the 'auto' setting all the time. Which slot did you put the fuse tap in? I put mine in 97 and have noticed a few times that the outlines will stay on for a bit longer than I expected after the truck is turned off, but they eventually turn off after a minute or two. If you hit the brake petal (after the truck is turned off) it does make that slot 'hot' for a minute or two and will turn on the led outlines temporarily.

I *think* slot 36 is for the 2018+ trucks only. The instructions that were in the box with my 2015-2017 lights did not specify which fuse slot to use, it only had a picture which appeared to have the tap plugged into slot 97.

yep I took a picture of it. Not sure what # slot this is but that’s where it was plugged in

Trail hopper, I replied in the other thread but I wanted to put it here too- try clicking your headlight switch between 'auto' and 'on' 5-10 times and see if your DRL outlines dim down. This caused mine to dim down to a good night-time level. So the capability is in there. Just gotta figure out why it's not doing it automatically.

I will test this later today. Is your truck a Lariat? Mine is a Lariat 501a...I am starting to think that the people who state the dimming function is working do not have the 'auto' headlight setting installed in their trucks. *If* the 'auto' setting is the common denominator Morimoto is going to need to come out with some sort of harness that gets these working properly for everyone.
