Installed Used OEM LEDs

Sort of a budget build, but didn't want to pay for the brand new OEM LEDs so instead did some research on here to find that it was possible to install some used ones (albeit with broken tabs) with the help of @Firn awesome 3D printed brackets. Used some JB plastic weld to bond the brackets to the headlights and they did the trick.



Overall, project wasnt too difficult and was able to stay under $550 for all the parts (including both headlights.) Trusting that you wont break your bumper might be the hardest part. -- followed this video here:

And @daveeasa harness couldnt be easier to understand and fit in.

 

Nice upgrade!

 

NICE!! Looks good. I thought about going the used Headlight route also. but was scared the headlights wont aim properly using the Tab repair kit.

 

Honestly, the 3D printed tab repair kit is a perfect fit. Didn't need to file it at all. For the most part, the bottom brackets of the headlight really holds it together, the top brackets seem to just help hold it in place.

 

ah ok. I'll have to think about it. The Headlights i see on Facebook Marketplace. They still want like $550 for 1 headlight with broken tabs. The other thing is being able to find the Harness for the conversion. I have an SR5 so those are harder to find
