Default The electric gremlins strike again

i'm having an issue with my highbeams and side markers.

similar to this thread, in fact identical except no 93 drl:
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/showthread.php?t=548644&styleid=13
I ordered the part but I can't seem to find a place to put it.

I assume this is due to the fact that there are no DRL on 93.

Can anyone help? Thanks.

Check the thread I linked, but basically, the brights usually don't work, the dash bit for them doesn't light up, and the side markers don't work. I've replaced fuses a lot.

are the fuses blowing, or are you just changing them?
have you tested the relays?

I changed them in case of an unusual break, they didn't blow.

Which relay(s) should I check?

Thanks! I will take a look at these. The video was very helpful too. And if anyone wants drl relay #3 and will pay shipping, it's a $100 part free.

Bought the two relays pointed out, and replaced. Brights work, as does the dash saying they do. Side markers are still out and I'll be hunting tonight for that one.

Sure wouldn't have helped with mine. The wiring was trash. There was spliced in some wiring stretching to both markers and connected to what I can only assume was stuff from my non-existent corner lights. I cut all of the crap out, cut the wires down to the sockets and where it goes into the harness-ish-thing. After it started shorting when I attempted to wire it up again, I gave up and wired the markers in with the front signals.
