    9-Month Update:

    I have been using these Bumper Filler LEDs for almost a year now.
    They have continued to work perfectly and really give a unique look to the 4Runner. I really like them.

    After using them for this long I decided to wire them a little differently.

    I have been doing some Stealth Car Camping lately and when I return to the vehicle to retire for the night during cold weather I like to run the vehicle for a bit to heat up the cabin before going to sleep.
    With the lights wired as I did originally, there was no way to turn them off when the vehicle is running and therefore they can bring unwanted attention to the vehicle by someone afar that otherwise may not hear that the vehicle is running.

    So I decided to connect these lights to my DRL Mod.

    This makes these lights have the same operation that my factory DRLs have after performing the DRL Mod:
    • ON - remain on at all times
    • OFF - remain off at all times
    • AUTO - operate as per OEM (on when headlights are off, off when headlight are on)
    The only downside of wiring these lights this way is that the sequential turn signals will no longer work with the switch in the "Auto" position AND the Headlights On. This is because the control box only has one ground wire and not individual grounds for the turn signals and the DRLs.
