    I’ve been looking at switching up the headlights on my 2021 TRD OR. A lot of them say that they only fit the SR. Does anybody know if these are actually different fits?

    If you’re talking about headlights with and without led daytime lights, you will need an adaptor to convert it over. The sr is all halogen bulbs while higher trim levels come with led drl. First determine if your truck has all halogen or has led drl and get the appropriate adapter if needed.

    I got a set of Alpha Rex LED lights I had on my '19 taco for like a month and a half if your interested. I took them off the truck when I traded in for my '21 OR. New truck came with LED lights already so I have no use for them now. :p

    I paid $800 for them new. I'm asking $650 + shipping. You would need to get a converter for your TRD. These were on an SR5 so the converter was not a part of the kit.

    Welcome to the forum. The ones that say they are for an SR do not have the DLR feature. You would be downgrading if you bought SR headlights.

    Do your research and stay away from Alpha Rex lights.

    Out of curiosity, what's wrong with Alpha Rex lights? I obviously didn't have them for very long, but they seemed perfectly fine.
