Default DRL Not Working After LED Install

I tried swapping my DRL for LEDs (ijdmtoy LEDs) with decoders, but they didn't work when I tried them. So I installed my halogen DRLs back in, but now they dont work! I tried looking for the fuse, but I don't know which symbol it is looking at the map. Is it just my fuse that busted or do I have a worse problem at hand???? Please help! I'm running my low beams 24/7 because I don't know what the issue is...

I'm still guessing some blown fuse...

You can do a search for "DRL Fuse"

Check out the first page of this thread for the pic of the fuse. It's should be located on the driver side.

That is a relief... I'll have to check the fuses then to confirm.. Thanks for the guidance!

FYI the positive and negative pins in the ijdm decoders are usually opposite of what they should be if you plug the connector in properly. If your fuse blew, then this may be the culprit. Double check to make sure positive and negative are lined up proper to your oem connectors. I simply swapped the pins on mine and it was good to go.

Thanks everyone! LEDs are good to go! It was a blown fuse and the pins were in backwards so I had to swap em - the white and pink threw me off a little. Finally I can keep my lights on AUTO and still look awesome doing it... Fog lights are next!
