Question driving lights w/parking lights

I was driving around the other day and saw an 03 Tundra with his factory driving lights on with just the parking lights.
Does anyone know how to achieve this? In other words I want to have my driving lights on without my head lights on at the same time.

Is there a way to do this?
thx

By driving lights do you mean the daytime running lights or the "fog" lights in the bumper?

Daytime running light are DANGEROUS!!!! My Tundra does not have them, my Sienna van does. Several times I have pulled out of my garage and drIven several miles with just the daylight running lights thinking I had turned the lights on. NO tail lights WITH DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS. Im going to get around to disconnecting them one of these days. ----Buzz

Theres a very simple mod to accomplish this in the Garage Forum member area. I have done it and like it very much. You will still have the manual control over those lights too.

I have the DRL but have them disconnected already. Looking to be able to run my fog lights with high beams or with parking lights. The switch in on the turn signal lever. I remember a thread awhile ago about the 03's but nobody would confirm that the 00-02 mod would work for the 03.

A foglight mod for an '03 without DRL's has been documented in the "Garage". No one has verified the foglight mod with DRL's for an '03 yet.

OK OK, you talked me into it...I'll join. I will see if I can confirm that the mod will work on the 03. I won't have to rip my whole dash apart to do this mod will I ??? If I can turn my foglights on and off as needed, it will be worth the money. Plus, don't I get a free sticker or something for joining??

As you will notice "club member" now!!! I looked at the Mod for the foglights and it doens't appear that it will work if you have DRL's. My fog switch is located on the turn signal, and the mod calls for the switch to be located on the dash. I guess I will have to wait until somebody figures out a way.

Hey Wes, find me a "clean" way of modifying my foglights and I will be the first to donate to the "make Wes a member fund"

i thought there was a way to change the 03s without DRLs and with the turn signal switch in the garage, maybe i misunderstood. i dont know how, and unfortunately probably wont have this truck much longer
