    I have a 2014 Toyota Tundra 1794 edition and installed the Spec-D Tuning LED Sequential Signal Black Smoke Projector Headlights. I would like to have the LED DRL strip working. Anyone know where I can get the proper wiring harness or what to do get them working?Truck 4 (2).jpg

    Did your 2014 1794 have the DRL white LED strip on the bottom of the OEM headlight?
    It looks like it in your pic.
    If so these aftermarket headlights aren't compatible..

    The white DRL on your aftermarket headlight looks like it is fed by the OEM DRL/turn signal bulb.
    But your truck isn't wired that way since you had the white strip DRL on your OEM headlights.

    Maybe @iHacker can make you something to get that feed to your aftermarket headlight.
    But I'm not sure..

    Seems to only be 3 connectors on your aftermarket headlights.
    Top headlight bulb
    Middle turn signal and what would be your DRL if you didn't have the LED strip on your OEM headlights
    Bottom is the parking light bulb.

    The problem is your new headlight isn't getting power to the DRL.
    Not sure if you can read this, but your truck DRLs are like this.
    A separate feed for the LED DRL strip.

    Your aftermarket headlights are wired for trucks that do not have DRL LED strips and use the turn signal for DRLs.

    Side note, you've also lost your motorized beam leveler with these headlights.

    The connector on your truck probably looks like this.
    upload_2024-6-5_10-18-20.png

    The connector for the aftermarket headlight would look like this.

    upload_2024-6-5_10-19-19.png

    These are the connectors the the bulb sockets plug into being your headlight connection simply plug into the bulb sockets.

    Perhaps @iHacker could make you something that would mimic the A12 connector from what you have.

    I could be wrong..:thumbsup:

    Thanks, I have messaged ihacker. Hoping he can find a solution. I should have taken a picture of the connections before putting my grille back on. I won't be able to get at it until possibly Friday now. But what you have sent me looks about right. I taped up the unused connection for now until hopefully I can get it working.
