DRL's not working

[Drgnblood]

Anyone on here ever had this issue. I replaced the bulbs, the housing the bulb goes in was a little dark like they had blown really bad at one point. Checked the fuse under the good as well and still nothing! Maybe the the DRL relay? Help a brother out!

I would take voltage readings at the sockets to make sure the contacts are in tact.

Chances are they got moisture in them like mine and the sockets are trashed. I priced out some new sockets and they were spendy so I did LED strips across the top of corners. I think they look BA but that is my opinion.

Both comments are great advice. Do you have pics of the led strips?

I will snag some HD pics at work tomorrow. I think I can con my buddy into taking the pics at lunch.

OK so today was some pretty awful weather so we had to do the no flash hold it steady so here are a couple pics of the LED strip. It looks kinda funny with the reflection from the ice coating the front of the truck. Also the front is not done yet so I have been keeping it off this site until done.

Mine kept blowing them so after changing them a few times I just took out the bulbs and ride with no drl's. My sockets were also black as if they had blown bad. Eventually I'll have it checked.

It helps to use the 3157's instead of the 4114's. From what I've read, 4114's can't handle the 14 v spike and blow prematurely.

So I called the stealership. $ 82.58 per socket, that's with slack for wiring. Found them cheaper on amazon, about $16.00 or so.

14 v spike ? how does this happen in a 12 v system?
