    Hey yall, I've done tons of research on this forum for numerous projects and it's been super helpful. Just signed up today because I couldn't download a diagram unless I was a member, so her I am. I drive a 2015 Tundra Platinum and do a lot of towing. Just installed aftermarket tow mirrors on my truck and I love them, they are a very helpful addition. They are GM style, switchback, power fold, with all the bells and whistles. Everything works on the mirrors except the DRLs on the front side of the mirrors. I'm fine without them but I'd still love them to work. I've gone through numerous posts on the forum and my best guess is that it's simply a harness/ pin issue? I really do not wanna have to rip the doors apart and run more wires into the cab or the engine compartment unless that's the only way. As stated before all other features of the mirrors work. I will do more searching here to try to find the easiest solution. Now I gotta go back and find the diagrams I was trying to download. Cheers

    Sounds like you bought Boost? Have you reached out to them, they tend to be pretty helpful. Should be a pinning or harness issue since your truck harness should already have the drl wires in its harness.

    Dang! You actually got product from that company :eek:

    They normally don't send what the consumer ordered. I'd still say to reach out to see if they have any recommendations.

    Reality is that their harness in their mirror is pinned incorrectly compared to your truck. Let me see if I still have the mirror pin map.

    These are what I bought and yes, similar to boost. I'm fact they have replacement parts for my mirrors, along with a tap kit that installs inside of mirror. From my understanding though, doing that will only turn my functioning blinkers into a bright running light. Don't think they'll actually turn on and off with my running lights on the headlights. Not sure that will give me the white running light effect either.
