    Anyone know of a reasonably priced plug and play option for my 2017 SR? I want something I can just easily install that looks similar to 2017 pro headlights. I don’t want anything where I have to mess with anything electrical. Just remove the old lights and plug in the new ones and reinstall.

    IMO you have 3 choices. BHLM mod yourself or buy a set already done (member here does them). Get the Pro lights but you'll need an adapter for them. Get the LEDs off a new model but again an adapter is needed. I wouldn't go aftermarket at all. Seems like the only decent aftermarket are Morimoto and at that point might as well get a factory set of LEDs.

    I did the BHLM myself and here's what they look like. All it cost was some spray paint and butyl to reseal the headlights.

    Also putting new headlights in a Tacoma isn't something that is quick and easy. Found this out while installing my Morimotos.

    Thanks. It's a lot of work though. Between getting them off and taking the headlights apart.
