    I’m not really sure if the CAPA versions are any good, I just don’t have experience with them. I can tell you that you should be able to find a good used set for $200-300. A lot of guys of upgrading to the full LEDs. If you really wanted to buy new, I know some dealers are having a 20% off sale, so that could help. But looking at the prices of theirs lights new, I think you could convert to OEM LEDs for less?

    I doubt this makes any difference as far as the wiring goes but I was taking a close look at that first photo I posted that said was the one I had and mine is a little different. I have the all chrome standard headlight with no LED. Here is a photo of my headlight.

    Hope this doesn’t cause confusion

    Your housing is the same as my OEM headlight but mine is from 2021 TRD DCSB Sport model.

    Like @Puppypunter has said, it can be done but requires some work.

    After your recommendation, and seeing the expense of the headlights I was wanting, I could get the full LED cheaper and have a better headlight. I think that is the way to go. I guess like you said before the V2 harness and kit is what to get?

    Yeah, the V2 is one you’d want :thumbsup: Also, not sure which dealers are doing it, but these guys send me emails since I bought my headlights from them a few years back:
    https://autoparts.toyotaofdecatur.com/?dm_i=4ZBJ%2C123YJ%2C6BJ7XL%2C4YS51%2C1

    Looks like $1180 shipped for the pair, which is good. The cheapest I’ve seen is when they do 25% off and the set goes for $1110 or so.
