Is this possible as the DRLs double as turn signal, right?

Lexus can disable the DRLs and the blinkers still work. I havent looked into it but if you have a multi-meter you can find which wire does what. It might be as simple as cutting one wire and running it to the LED DRLs.

I know on my 1st gen Tundra, the headlight bulb doubled as the DRL and all you had to do was un-plug a long resistor along the front left fender. Some vehicles use a DRL fuse. I didnt see a DRL fuse (I do see the blinker / hazard fuse) in the manual so the best bet is to check the wiring with a MM.

Thanks. It actually brought my GX to a whole new look. I did not wire them directly to the OEM DRL/Turn signal. Those LED still on and look awesome at night.

X2 Looks tight! I like how it modernizes the truck - just like the new gx460.

I know it's kind of cheating cause I have not actually done the mods haha but it's still a cool process. Also keeps a small group entertained looking at images and threads not being technical questions.

This arrived today. Along with the tails and HID's. Dare to guess what this is?

Best Mod IMO, I switched out my corroded wheels for factory chrome Sequoia wheels and just customed the center caps with Lexus logo. The mirrors are nice and should have been factory.

Got pics? I really wish some would post more. Like full car shots etc. etc. Been debating getting them as there is a place that sells them locally.
