2020 Tacoma OEM LED Headlight Megathread

Maybe listen to these two. My time to do the job comes from experience, this was not the first headlight swap for me. I just swapped out my wife's old yellowed halogen assemblies on her Impreza to a set of WRX HID assemblies. And I do similar stuff at work as a professional wrench turner.

Last thing I want is someone messing up this job because they rushed it. They are expensive lights, so don't limit your time window to install them.

 

Like other have said above, should be enough time. Making a window with a little more time couldn’t hurt and if you finish early, more time to play and stare.
I did a little prep before using painters tape around fenders, bumper and both sets of headlights to avoid any scratches.
Probably took me the same amount of time for my tundra. Didn’t have to drop the bumper but did have to run wiring inside the cab. The old SR5 to new TRD headlight ordeal

 

@daveeasa I connected all of them but the lights are hyperflashing. Any idea why this might be.

 

Passenger side

 

Might not be the harness, but the truck. You have any other LED's installed in side mirrors or rear tail lights?

 

Nope all stock, when the headlights are turned on, the passenger high been turns on & the driver side low beam turn on.

 

Double-check this. White w black stripe to white w black stripe, solid white to solid white:

 

Yup I had that wrong, the rest seem fine except this one not too sure if it goes in white wire with red tripe to red wire.

 

for low beams I use white w a stripe matching the solid color on the OEM side. The reason for this is to disambiguate the two dark blue wires on the passenger side (park and low beams) so I don't make a mistake during assembly. The red low beam driver side could be solid red but I do white w red stripe for symmetry b/c I'm a nutbag?

It's correct in your photo. Also note the H9 male connector tabs are different on each side, the tab closer to the edge goes to the side of the connector with less meat, the higher tab goes to the one with more meat, hard to describe but look at it and it'll make sense.

 

All worked out perfectly, Thank you! Will post a pic soon.

 

I understand what you mean... I realized I had it backwards because it didn't click in. Once I turned the plug 180° they made the nice satisfying click and knew it was correct.

 

I’m thinking of going with the non pro leds which have some chrome in it so should I go with the chrome bezel oem led fogs or the black bezel oem led fogs? Which would match better? My truck is black fwiw. Anyone have either of these combos to share a pic?

 

Both headlights have some chrome

So either way would probably look good, but black fogs if wanting to just go more black

 

and if you want all black headlights and don't want to DIY

I mean, seriously, f OEM fog lights, right? DD elites or DD SS3 Max is all I'd consider.

 

Just installed some elites on my truck yesterday. Color match is almost perfect and output is impressive.

I was also considering the oem LED lights but saw the output was kind of weak. The DD lights aren’t much more and they perform well

Front end looming mean! Pardon my ignorance but what grill is that?

 

Thanks man! Front grille is just an OEM 2020 SR grille with black bezel. Grille came on the truck and I just picked up the bezel a few days ago.

 

Finally got time to take pics, made the taco look a million times better, wish I would of done it sooner
