    ...can the chrome internals be taken out easily? I'm thinking of buying broken tabs, scuffed TRD-Pro headlights and swap out all the internal parts with my TRD sports, may be fidgeting with some extra LEDs while I'm in there. New TRD-Pro hls are just mad moneis. Thanks for any leads.

    Chrome does not come out "easy". I would not try to take the internals out of the PRO just for the bezels. You would be doing twice the work for little gain. Just pull the Sports apart, and paint them yourself. My .02

    If you aren't good at spray painting, then I would say don't attempt to crack open the headlights. If you aren't careful then you can really mess up your headlights before you even get them separated. Removing the perma-seal is also a major pain in the ass, and if you don't know what you are doing when resealing you will get water leaks and condensation.
