Pictures of my 6.2L AT4 on stock suspension with 36inch tires, Borla Exhaust and Amber DRLs

Very nice looking truck OP.

I guess ya, if there's enough interest. I can manually make these, bu they are time consuming and parts are expensive. especially the PCBs.

 

They are cheaper to make in larger quantities, and instead of locally, they will be 1/4 of the cost if they are made in China.

 

I'm making two of these for my buddies but they're eating up the cost and labour.

I would also be interested in the amber DRLs. Please let me know if you’ll be making any more of these kits. Thanks in advance

This is neat - back in 2008 when everyone had (incandescent) amber DRLs and Audi showed up with bright white LEDs, everyone wanted white DRLs.  Now everyone HAS white DRLs and wants amber.  LOL.

 

This DRL mod will only work on the refresh trucks because their DRLs are capable of both white and amber color.  The pre-refresh trucks are only capable of white...the turn signal was separate so there's no amber in the DRL at all.  There are aftermarket options to fix this, but as mentioned, you do need to open up the headlamps.

Love the DRLs. How did you do it? Is there a harness to change it ? You had said in an earlier post if there was enough interest you might be getting it out to the interested ones. I’m interested!!!

I’m also interested in the amberDRLs. Please let me know when and if you decide to make and sell these. Would rather go with American made. Thanks

I am in on getting one of these as well. If the time is too consuming (which I get), I wonder if some sort of licensing deal could be arranged with a company like Boost Auto.

sub'd.

I took some pictures of my truck few days ago, thought I'd share.

 

Tires are on 22inch rims and they're around 35.8inchs when measured using a measuring tape.

 

Borla S-type exhaust with dual exhaust tips on each side.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I need those DRLs

[Stuart Bauld]

I would love to get these DRLs.  In for a group buy if one becomes available

Are you still making these? I would absolutely buy 1 from you.

 

I actually work for a PCBA contract manufacturer. I can get PCBs from overseas at a very low cost from my vendor if you’re interested.

I’m hoping that you’re still making boards for the amber DRL’s. I’m not well versed in circuit boards so I’m going to have to ask if you can make me one also. Thanks!

I think you guys are beating a dead pony.

I won’t be making these myself, but I’ll share the instructions here. The most challenging part was designing the PCB, which I’ve already completed through a lot of trial and error. I’ll upload the PCB files so you guys can get them printed at JLCPCB.com—this is the service I used. Once you have the control board, all you need to do is create four pigtail harnesses (two for each side) and place the board in a waterproof/weatherproof enclosure. I’ll also look up the part numbers for the connectors and pins.

 

The installation is simple: unplug the harness from the headlight housing, connect it to one side of the PCB, and then plug the pigtail from the other side of the PCB into the headlight.

 

If you’d like the option to switch between amber and white DRLs, you can run two wires from the PCB into the cab and install a two-position switch.

 

Alternatively, if you don’t want to run wires into the cab, you can place a small jumper on the PCB itself, allowing you to have either white or amber LEDs. (Can't switch colors on the go)

 

I’ll try to make time for a more detailed write-up with pictures. I’ll need to sift through some old emails since it’s been a while.

 

The lights have been working great and look fantastic. I haven’t had any issues with them. As a courtesy to other drivers, I switch to the white DRLs at night because they automatically dim with the light sensor, while the amber ones are super bright.

OP, do you happen to have any updates on this or the files by chance? I would love to be able to Mod my DRLs to Amber and I am very interested in doing this. Thanks!
