    I bought a used oem headlight for my 2017 Tacoma, but the new ones don’t have these ports cut out? Can I cut them out myself and re use all old parts

    First question is "why?"

    I suppose you could, but... why?

    If you slip or over cut, now you have moisture intrusion issues.

    I'd also be nervous about knicking the wiring inside.

    I mean it’s obviously missing a light without those in just not sure which. I think it’s the drls but I could be wrong.
