    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.

    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.

    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

    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

    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.

    Where is everyone getting the best deal right now? These are the prices on Sparks Parts at the moment and the code “ChloeKuo” will add another 5%.

    Lowest I've seen is $550 ish, but I haven't checked in while to see the going rate.

    Out of state dealers sometimes offer no sales tax and free shipping. Try Larry H Miller Toyota in Lemon Grove, CA. Also, Norm Reeves Toyota in San Diego.

    Anyone have a feel for what the lifespan is on these? Once the LED’s go out they’ll just need to be replaced?
