    I need some advice on a headlight swap. I have a Base SR 2017 Tacoma without the Daytime running lights, the L shaped light next to the main headlight. I found a forum member on this sight that was willing to sell me the TRD off road headlights with the L shape daytime running lights or whatever they are called. What will it take to swap the lights? I understand that I dont have the correct wiring to swap?

    I installed them into my base model SR, had to wire up the L shape drl separate but it was a pretty straight forward install!

    Do the DRLs work the same as on a stock trd. meaning how you operate it? My base SR doesnt have fog lights so not sure if that matters. Also if our switch on the steering column is the same.

    How do you turn on the lights on the inside corner of the headlight? @moe2o4 I think you had it on your first pic.

    Looks great! Might have to pick your brain in a bit, my wife wants my TRD OR DC MT, so I may be in the market for a 2017 SR MT.

    As far as the wiring for the the L shape DRL, did you need to buy anything additional? Like wire harnesses?? @moe2o4

    If you would get a pic of the "plain jane" headlights you have on the SR, it would help me. :burp:

    This is not the best picture, light is still on truck. L.H. or drivers side. Also a stock photo of the R.H. or Passenger's side. I hope this helps, and not to confusing.
