Default DRL Fuse Blown ?

I believe my fuse is blown after trying to install LED's on my Day time running lights. Does anyone know what fuse do I purchase and where do I replace the blown fuse at ?

It is under the hood somewhere on the driver's side, I know that much. I believe it is a 20Amp Microfuse.

Someone please help. I called my local Lexus dealer and even the guy in the parts department said there is no fuse showing up on his computer. He then transferred me to service and they still could not tell me what fuse I had to purchase.

I changed out the fuse and still no luck. The DRL / Hi-beams still do not work. It is very strange because everything was working up until the decoder box for the LED's was installed. Even when I had the LED's with out the decoder it was still working but flickering at low speeds. Now nothing works LED's or regular stock bulbs. $Y*($$^Y($&*$)&()&$()&$P*($&()^&$)&^$*(#)(#

OOOPS, I had a blond moment, I took out the wrong fuse lol... Ok so now it works but only 1 DRL light is working.

Is there another fuse to replace for right and left side or is it just 1 fuse for both ?

Did you run a relay kit with your capacitors ReyRey? (decoders are essentially capacitors, and you will need to run a RELAY kit to get it working).

I removed the LEDs and put in my stock bulbs and 1 is only working.

I do not want to loose my high beam functionality especially with the drivers in Miami lol

Ohh, sorry for the bad reading, I breezed through it trying to help best I can lol....

Can you take a photo of the fuse you replaced? (on the diagram that is, not the physical fuse itself). That would tell me if you have a left and right side or not.

Some cars come with their right/left independent.... I never had the problem so I never had to look it up.
