    So after 8 years I found something new. I have 2018 LED TRD Pro headlights on my 2016 SR5 with the iHacker harness. I rarely set the parking brake but I did and when I started the truck I noticed it was still dark (the LED DRL bezels are normally BRIGHT). Got out because I thought the DRL was out. Took the parking brake off and the DRLs came on. I had no idea... I had to start the truck with the brake set as when I tried to set the brake with the truck running they didnt turn off. Might be useful to know if someone wants to sit in the dark with the car running. This might save me from wiring a cutoff to the DRLs

    Thought this was common knowledge. It became annoying entering the base, turning off my car setting the ebrake 1 click up to be able to turn off my headlights/DRLs as security always had a reason to bitch about them. I always set my ebrake, even when I don't need to just to sit in the dark.
