2020 Tacoma OEM LED Headlight Megathread

You’re da man!

 

Curious too. Anyone know?

 

Recently converted my 2019 Pro and I am VERY pleased with the results. From start to finish the conversion took me about 2-hours because I was VERY careful with every step. No broken clips, fasteners, scratched headlights, etc.

The 1st step is to disassemble the front end


I used extra care removing the fender flares to avoid damage


I then marked the “low” beam with painters tape because the L&H beam connectors are identical looking. I then proceeded to R&R each headlight assembly. The headlights are held in with 3 fasteners and one “slide” connector. It slides from side-to-side, do not pull forward! I then plugged in my conversion harness to my existing headlight connectors and then plugged the 6-pin harness into the new 2020 LED headlight and verified everything worked before reassembling


Here are some before and after photos

 

Plugs for the sidemarker connectors that are unused (protect the terminals).

 

Ok. I'm grabbing a pair

 

what Morimoto headlights we talking about? I’d like more for less

 

Curious, are these the fogs that you have?

Edit, never mind. I see you have Rigid Pro's

 

I'm assuming these headlights.

One minor addition to that point; anyone buying a 2020 will also need a harness if it comes with the halogens and you want to add the LED headlights. It's not just for the 16-19. The LED foglights are plug-and-play on the 2020 just as the older models, but not the headlights, sadly.

Thanks for the post, let me know if you have any questions.

 

Yes if you mean 2020s that come with LED DRLs but not the full LED headlights.

$85 for an adapter isn't a bad deal.

I spent $20 on 2 Molex connectors and $20 on a molex crimper. I then spent about an hour slowly cutting, taping off and re-insulating/wrapping the wires.

I enjoyed the process, but not everyone else might.

Depending on your time and skill level, the adapter seems very well priced. I did leave tails on my old adapters, so switching back, if I were to, would not take too long, but I would have to solder the wires. The adapter allows you to simply unplug them.

I prefer the rewired connectors, but if you don't have the stomach for it, adapters would be good.
I also was impatient and adapters were no where to be seen...

 

This pic contains all the info you need for the color codes if you wanna be brave and start cutting.

 

Almost done with my harness. If only USPS would of delivered my other plugs that were suppose to be delivered but oh well hopefully they show up tomorrow and they’ll be done

 

Just sent an email for a set of harness.

 

HA!

 

Yeah as much as I want the LED’s I’m thinking I will just go with brighter halogens and be confident it will melt snow and ice build up.

 

I would've created my own but wtf, someone already produced it and me being in Guam at the moment makes buying and getting items shipped such a headache.
