DRL Fang Lights randomly turning on

[felixalva60]

I bought these DRL Fangs for my Tacoma and they randomly turned on this morning for a couple minutes so I unplugged the fuse cap. Anyone got a fix or recommendations for this? I’m not a mechanic so I don’t really know how it works..

If you search, you'll find that there are numerous people mentioning this.

It is a result of the fuse that you connected the lights to and is completely normal as the truck energizes that circuit to run tests at certain intervals.

So it should turn itself off after how long? I keep looking for somewhere that says that but I can’t find it.

Thank you so much brother

That's the best approach I've seen to prevent the issue since the USB2 circuit is separate from the one which comes on randomly. I may do that for mine some day.

I have grill LED and Fang lights on the INJ circuit in the driver's side fuse box which *is* a circuit which comes on randomly. I have had no issues at all with that and never saw any signs of battery drain.

I think they come on for less than a minute but have never tried to measure it so that's a gut feel.

Yeah I saw that a lot in this forum, I have purchased a switch panel since I have other stuff I want to wire so I’m just going to wire it to that

Why not just wire it to the hot wire on the 3 pin headlamp harness? The ground and the signal power is there too. Then all your DRL's will work with the other OEM DRL lighting? That is what I did, and it works well with a bunch of DRL lighting I added.

I’m not mechanically inclined like that so I have no clue what you just said man

I don't know which Fang lights you purchased, or what type, but I will make it simple. Just purchase a set of these and you can connect what you need with a supplied connector crimp to the already tapped jumper harness :
