    My question is does anyone know how to rig their taillights to always be on? When I’m in AUTO headlight mode, I would like my front DRLs and rear taillights on in daylight, and full headlight and rear on at night. Anyone have any ideas?

    Sounds like too much work with 0 benefit. You can just leave your headlights on all the time. The truck has a auto off mode after 30 secs. You prob already know this but the auto on is for oncoming traffic.

    No the auto function I’m talking about is based on daylight, not auto high beam. My headlight stalk has an auto function that I just installed and has nothing to do with on coming traffic. It’s not 0 benefit for me because in rain my auto headlights don’t turn on so I have to manually do it. If my taillights were always on then I wouldn’t bother turning the lights on because I have DRL in the front.

    Sorry. I misunderstood what you were trying to say. I thought you wanted rear parking lights while headlights were on.

    The easiest way I guess would be to install secondary lights and hook them up to your auto lights at the headlamp. You should not mess with the tail light wires because the signal can cause another to short.
