    So I have a 2005 Double Cab Tundra Limited 2WD. When I put my headlights on, only the headlight assembly comes on. I've seen on other trucks like mine that both the blinkers and the headlights come on. I'm wondering how can I do that to my truck bc it looks goofy how it is right now

    Just asking, since it's an important question: Have you added any LED bulbs for headlights, foglights, turn signals?

    Do your turn signals work?

    Is the truck new to you?
    Is this something that has always been, or something that recently happened?

    The turn signal bulb should be a 3157A (A for amber).
    It is a 2 filament bulb.
    The turn signal should light up on low with the headlights on as a parking light.
    Make sure it has the right bulb in it..

    As @Toyoda Tundra asked, do the turn signals work with headlights on and/or off?

    Your DRL is in the headlight bulb.
    Its a low power headlight with the head lights off.
    I always unplugged mine, the plug is in between the battery and the side fender.

    There is also a worthless tiny bulb in the headlight assembly.
    Does it come on?

    . Consider what @1lowlife has stated, as he mentioned, the corner lights use a two filament bulb, 1 for turn signals and one for parking lights. If your turn signals do work but parking lights don’t, then most likely one of the elements is burned out. Inspect the bulbs, if they are in fact burned replacing them should fix that issue. check your fuses as well.

    One more question;
    Are the tail lights working properly?
    Parking lights, turn signals, brake lights?

    Good luck..

    In my '06 DC I unplugged the DRL harness like @1lowlife mentioned and leave my headlights on all the time. The door switch on the driver's side B pillar will automatically shut off all the running lights (park front/rear, head, fog) when the truck is off and driver's door opened. I'm not certain if the park lights operate when DRL is operating, in my other truck it just appears as a dim headlight with no other lights operating.
