    I have a 2018 Tundra with OEM LED headlight. I was replacing them with the Morimoto XB LED headlights with the harness for OEM LED headlights. If I don’t use the 3pin black and yellow turn signal adapter it blows the 10amp tail fuse. If I use the adapter I have no turn signals. Is there a fix for this?

    this is somewhat common. Do a search on the forum. You are not the only one with the issue.

    Did you replace the OEM LED headlight, with the Morimoto XB LED headlights?

    Why would you want to turn the DRL off with XB? Those amber lights looks badass

    There are 2 generations of them. Gen 1 was white. Gen 2 you can choose white or amber at time of purchase.

    Right. With OEM, they could be turned off by the switch on the stalk. You can no longer do that with the XB's. They can still be turned off on the 4Runner.

    I'd go white just because my mirrors have the white LEDs and so does my grill.

    My 2020 is an SR5 with the DRL off option, until XB's are installed lol. Our 4R is a 2020 SR5 as well.
