    Evening Folks!

    I am having a bit of an issue with my Morimoto XB headlights for my 2016 Tundra.
    Yes, I have LED DRLs and no the wiring harness isn't the fix for this question.

    I live in the Great White North, CanadaLand, Your Friendly Northernly Neighbour (yes, neighbour has a U in it). Keep reading and you'll understand why this is important.

    The Issue: My XB headlights when in the factory "Auto" mode send power to the high beams and blind drivers, however, this only happens during the day. When night falls, the lights work as my OEM lights had always functioned and the high beams only activate when I pull the stalk.

    The lights act strange in all other settings as well, issues centre around the high beams. I will post a video tomorrow.

    I am assuming due to my truck being a Canadian vehicle, there must be some sort of DRL wiring anomaly which isn't present in USDM trucks.

    My Question: Is there anyone who can think of a fix? Would I be able to swap in a USDM headlight harness and have them function like a USDM truck? Maybe I can wire in a resistor? I am open to all suggestions, electrical is not my forte but I am hoping one of you may have the answer.

    Merry Christmas and keep your sticks on the ice!

    Maybe @iHacker knows if there is a difference between the US and Canadian trucks?...
