Elect? reverse, drl's on with puddles

[ashevilleboy00]

Anyone know how to wire the reverse lights and drl's to come on when the puddles do? ie - unlock/lock
Really would be helpful to have extra light at night!

Truck is a 2001 LT 4x4

They should stock. What year is your truck???

I'm not familiar with 2001 model but mine do just what you're asking. Does the truck have any mods?

 

[ashevilleboy00]

apparently they started coming stock recently after the 01 models.
not much for mods; led tails, hid fogs, hid headlights(projectors), led bulbs(exterior turn, drl's)

Did you do your own mods?

Some of your mods involve headlights and their wiring, that would be the first place I would start. Some folks disable and/or bypass certain functions to get their HIDs working just right.

03+ models had this feature built in. To wire the 00-02 models, you would need to wire in a relay to connect the reverse lights and drls to the puddle light circuit and use a couple diodes to prevent voltage feedback, still keeping the circuits independent of each other when activated. I'm in sort of a rush right now, but if you shoot me a pm sometime later to remind me, I'll plan it out and shoot over a schematic for you.
