Default DRL/Highbeams not working, not fuse

I recently changed my highbeams to LEDs, but it was flickering so I bought a non-flickering module and installed it. After installing it the DRL and high beams both don’t work. I took them back out and placed stock halogen bulbs back in, and it still doesn’t work. I checked the fuse and it wasn’t blown but I went ahead and changed the fuse and it still doesn’t work. Anything else I should check? TIA!

You did not mention the state of the parking brake when checking the DRLs. It makes a difference. Read this PDF on the DRL operations. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/att...-operation.pdf

In other words, the DRL will NOT light IF the parking brake is set and the ignition is ON. Releasing the parking brake with the Ignition in the ON position and the DRL should activate.

The parking brake isn’t on. Been driving it for a while now without the DRL. Thanks for the pdf though. I’ll try to mess with the parking brake to see if anything happens.
