    Hey Ed. I installed them myself also, it took me about the same time. I found all the vids you mentioned to be helpful, but found this one vid to be the best, link below . Hope this helps the future headlight swappers out , Cheers Al

    Dudes!

    All I gotta say is, my right thumb and top of my right hand took some battle scars. I suggest wearing some gloves (preferably tight fitting) when handling the plastic.

    This seemed like a daunting task...but my determination is what got me through this project.

    I'll post pics soon.

    Had my TRD pro OEM led headlights in my living room for 4 months and after getting my harnesses from daveesa I had a friend who does auto body work install them last Sunday on my 2916 TRD OR.
    Let’s just say I can finally see at night with my old eyes and love the looks as well.
    BIG improvement over the horse and buggy lights that came stock..!!

    I'm gonna start off with the view of the halogen headlights then the LEDs. Not the best quality at 5:50am on a Monday 7Feb.

    Halogen:
    thumbnail_IMG_5966_d048c96ed592ecafc4a15553087a5e07c1cbfa0a.jpg

    LEDs from yesterday's drive into work 11Feb.
    thumbnail_IMG_6021_af39cffab3cb0d8e3f579d12d93899bbe1cb0bf1.jpg

    You can definitely see a brighter road with the LEDs.

    Here we go...removal of grill and then view after disassembly of driver's side area:
    [​IMG]

    Here's what it looked like after I removed the driver's side halogen headlight and started connecting the harness:

    I need to add the rest of the pics here...took them from my intro post which I updated first:

    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/my-new-trd-sport-nice-welcome-to-tw.738836/page-2

    Inside the wheel area where the fender flare attaches:

    [​IMG]

    The backside of the passenger side headlight...I pulled it straight out, Eric!

    [​IMG]

    The High & Low Beam connections need to be spot on. I matched up the green to green and it worked out fine!

    [​IMG]

    Made sure the clips snapped into place securely!

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Mission Complete!

    [​IMG]

    I love these headlights! They are much more brilliant at night and the sequential turn signals/DRLs are sexy!

    [​IMG]

    BTW, when I disconnected the TSS system, I turned on the engine to test the lights. I received a TSS error "bring vehicle to dealership for service".

    Once I connected everything as you see above, all systems checked good.

    I waited for 7 months for a truck with LED headlights and they are worth the wait. Difference at night is amazing.

    What tab did you break?

    Hopefully receiving mine soon and am afraid of breaking things. Been watching tons of videos on light removal.

    Just wait until you remove the grill so you can see inside the wheel panel. I was a little anxious and was poking around the wheel well before removing the grill.

    I found a picture to compare the OEM Halogen Headlights vs the OEM LED Headlights recently installed:
