Default After tucklites what did u do with the day lights

Ok got my truck lites installed and love the look it gives my jeep the only thing it gets me down is the day light running lights are gone now coz they don't have a place for that bulb, so my question is what did u guys do with your day running lights?

Having thoughts of returning them and getting something else...

In the US we don't have the day time running light feature or a "city light" feature.

I think they do in Canada. So probably won't be much help here until someone from the great white north chimes in.

I would like to know more on this too. I was close to pulling trigger on trucklights. But I didn't know it lost the daytime lights. I will wait to hear more on this too.

I'm not running these lights but the Procal I just got lets you set DRL to low beams or fog lights or turn signals and feeds them half power, 6v.

Usually half power on led's turns them off, but i might be wrong..

The truck lites will flicker very bad when sent 6 volts and the low beam setting on the procal is the same as the standard DRL's and still causes bad flickering. I used my procal and set the DRL's to the turn signals.

I am running truck-lites and I have used my AEV procal to set my fog lights to drl's and they work perfect together.

I'm thinking the same.. Don't get me wrong the lights are amazing even when they r turned off the look it gives the jeep ... Does the jw speaker have day light running lights?

I was thinking to use the wires and lines of this to power an LED light bar .... So the extra switch that I have will be put to use still thinking...

I read about these lights and just didn't come across anyone talking about it... Truck lites made a damn good light but forgot about half the people who would have the DLR lights :(
