The DRL socket only uses brighter element of the 3157...so that bulb lights up brighter than the one next to it. There really isn't a need for a wiring diagram--you just connect the wires from the new socket to the corresponding wires on the existing socket.

Well that's ok, if you get them off a totaled truck maybe. But I bought the sockets about 2 months ago and haven't got to install them yet, but my sockets are entirely white with 3 white wires. So I'm having to go by the lettering on the sockets and match that up.

I ordered them new from the dealership. I haven't had time to put them on yet, cause I've been swamped with work. I just got the chance to wash the truck for the first time in a month 3 days ago. I should have them on by next weekend though, cause finals are coming up in 4 days.
