    EDIT: I was but a naive young lad when I posted this a few hours ago. I am now aware you can't upgrade the stock LEDs to brighter LEDs. But if you're curious, I posted some pics of my new Lunar Rock TRD Pro in the thread.

    I got some high output LEDs to put in my new TRD Pro. When I went to swap them out, I could not figure out how to access the bulbs behind the headlight. There’s a big plastic covering that I tried to remove and had no luck. The only videos I could find were for other 3rd gens that didn’t have that big plastic cover and all the bulbs were easily accessed. Any thoughts?

    As already mentioned, the LED headlights on the Pro for the 2020+ models have integrated LED's.

    I bought these thinking they might be brighter than the stock LEDs, maybe I was mistaken.

    Only OEM halogens bulbs can be replaced, OEM LEDs cannot be replaced, the entire headlight would have to be replaced if something craps out.

    Oh man, the inside feels really nice, and super comfortable. the sound system is really great too.

    I’d always seen people complaining about how cheap and plastic-y they feel, but I mean.. it’s an off road utility vehicle. I’d rather it be made of replaceable plastic than have wood paneling everywhere
