    Installing trailer brake controller

    Great photo. My dash has a flat panel where yours has the sculpted area around the controller. Do you know if the factory controller comes with the panel or do I need to order a separate panel? Thanks

    DRL issues

    I do have it on auto. Otherwise they serve no purpose as daytime running lights. I have tried to adjust the intensity and it doesn't do anything in the automatic setting.
