    I just installed mine the other week and noticed the same problem when left signal turned on the DRL lights flicker... Was wondering what is the fix you guys came up with...

    Thanks in advance...

    The problem is with the jumper to the headlight. Same thing happened to me. Take the tape/tubing0F2D11E5-D2B0-4E13-A7CB-659D15FD2479.jpg off of the harness wiring and compare what you did to the NSV install video. Make sure you’re jumping both “sides” of the blue wire. 5A3AD770-5DE0-4B5A-B7FF-CFEE59728882.jpg

    I had only jumped to one of the blue sections of wire and had the same problem. If I remember correctly I had to cut the NSV harness to get it like this but it’s been awhile.

    My original thread on this is here: https://www.tundras.com/threads/nsv-light-bar-install-tips.39857/

    I had the same problem .. I just now tapped off the purple wire that is in the black connector and then connected it to the blue wire and now I’m driver turn signal stays on and my ledbar still flashes. Fml.. that’s what the guy tells you to do. This crap is driving me nuts

    Unpin #2 and #9

    Pin #2 is a redundant 12+ bat supply for the DRL and swipe on alarm. When disconnected, it prevents them from back feeding and holding the turn light on, and prevents accidentally triggering the swipe function when signalling with a short pulse (not fully engaging the turn signal).

    Pin #9 is actually the "blue" tap wire from the headlight that dims the DRL when the low beams are turned on. There are many automatic lighting features in our trucks (not "auto" headlight setting) that confuse things for the nsv. Disconnecting this defeats the dim feature, but allows for nsv switch control over the DRL at full brightness

    Just installed mine. The lightbar section came on once, can't get it to come on again. Any advice?

    Working on it :-)
    Make sure headlight switch is on position and not in the auto position, turn on highbeams, light bar switch should now operate the lightbar.

    Still not working, and why are drls only working on high beams, I was soon excited about this lightbar, but I'm having buyers remorse
