Based on a recent phone call I just made, how exactly were you able to get your DRL’s activated on your 2018 at the dealer because at first, I just figured the dealership yesterday was pulling my leg giving me the runaround saying they couldn’t do it but, I just got off the phone with OBD genie and even they said that they don’t have a product available for anything 2018 and even told me my dealership wasn’t lying about saying they were unable to turn the OEM DRL’s on so what gives?...lol. Maybe your dealer needs to call my dealer....[emoji41]

I mentioned this in another post but my dealer said it wasnt possible but they did figure it out and told me I was one of three theyve done it and it really depends who you ask because the first tech said it wasnt the manager said it might be possible but then it took them over an hour to figure it out. I was just adamant about the paper instructions and voila, I have DRLs. It isnt as common to the dealer as it is here. I told them about Ram making this a possibility because all Canada trucks have them and it is just not activated so that got them thinking and eventually figured it out. However they did want $140 to do it but a slip up on their end got it to me for 0. I wouldnt pay for aftermarket if I had to pay for that for a truck thats capable but someone just cant or wont at the dealer Id keep looking or give up on it. No sense in paying for something extra that a dealer has the ability to do IMO.

Also installed permanent eyelet connections on both batteries too plug in the new Noco Genius battery charger.

My truck is not driven every day & these batteries are not getting any cheaper. If I can extend the life of both batteries by at least a extra year—-> This is $$ well spent.

I will basically use this unit as a trickle charger.

Strange: Parked in our garage @ 54°F (driver-side battery) only showing 50% charged.

Might possibly buy another one so both batteries can be on trickle at the same time while parked.

No thank ya...lol. If I gotta meticulously and very, very carefully crack open a brand new set of headlights just to get the white LED’s in them, I’d just assume buy a brand new set of aftermarket lights that already has them installed. Besides- as of now, there’s no way to enable the DRL circuit that those white LED’s need to function correctly unless— they don’t even require the factory circuit in the first place.....[emoji848]

If you open your oem projectors and swap out the stock amber led drl boards and put in the diode dynamics switchback boards, all you need to do is turn on your running lights or lowbeams and the white less come on. If you don't want the amber leds for your turn signal you can hook up the boards so the less are white all the time.

Either way if you swap out your boards you don't need DRL's activated to have the white leds turn on.

Here is my TYC replicas that I customized. Diode dynamics switchback led drl boards, Diode Dynamics Switchback Halos and C-Bars, Klearz Smoked Corner Lenses and Klearz Smoked DRL Lenses plus I custom painted them.e1961b99ca922ac356697b8e52a25387.jpgb44ee78f2ff533a874c4ce9d48e1db6e.jpgb9cc3768d662e5b994237d0b3c80eeb2.jpg44a8b6c0773c0302b3428878de31e8cf.jpg86bad521254cbca54ccd442ff1fe9aa6.jpgd40256ab86de2976385e3289dff0676e.jpg450a12d31d20ab2e3cf32a2f0bf2c770.jpg6304302376f9e68f3644dc81f73fbe8f.jpg3cdb4f0c69b01066cb5334cc5598f585.jpg06a35e0fdec55c929bf8d6b90538d6fb.jpg0f5f56053afe69a16896035b5962462f.jpg1c723412a0c8648baf4d1a00ea991d60.jpg74ba8d2ccc05b62e0110e7b79efcfe91.jpg9ae963cb9c7952bff20a7b49d55039ca.jpg53a5adaad1ada271f0df63f8f47a49c0.jpga9feec81919be7d8e000fdd436bfb901.jpg0546fba05f59b0d2e494459881163770.jpg32403ce69945447db55a9ac9cf6035b5.jpg

Those tyc's will be up for sale tomorrow or Sunday on the classifieds in these forums.

I'm building a new set once these sell. Dunno if I'm building a set of quads or tycs yet.

What do you mean, you want me to build you a set?

That looks pretty good. Nice.

So your original amber turn signals are just plain white now that act as your DRL’s and those orange halos you added, those are your turn signals now?

That’s pretty neat and yeah it looks incredibly awesome but even though I’d love to try that, I’m just afraid I’d end up melting my lights or screwing something up and making it looked like a bruised ****, just my luck....lol. If I had more of a custom theme on my truck, I think that would be a little more incentive to try it but I think that’s a little bit outta my league. It sure does look cool tho. Helluva job, buddy.

The halos, c-bars and the white drl leds are white while driving. All 3 turn orange when I put on my turn signal, the halos, cbars and drl strip are all orange during turn signal mode. They then go back to white after the turn signal turns off.

I used a heat gun to open mine. Took awhile but worked perfectly and no melting or anything. I havnt had ANY condensation issues either. It was so much easier then I thought it was going to be.
