    Hi everyone, I know this question may be odd for some, but I'm hoping there are a few lighting enthusiasts here that know where I am coming from. I currently have a 2019 Tacoma with tuned RX350 projectors and Phillips XV2 D2S bulbs. The light output is absolutely incredible. My truck is listed for sale and I will be purchasing a 2020-2023 DCLB tacoma. The ones near me only have LED reflector housings with the options I want, but I would much prefer to have projector housings.

    Is there anyway to convert to factory halogen wiring from the LED wiring? Is my only option going with Morimoto XB housings?

    ~~EDIT: I just noticed that the Morimoto harness seems to have standard plugs, this may be possible.~~ Wrong way :(

    You're SOL, all 4th Gen use LED headlight assemblies. Way too soon for aftermarket (if any) swap.

    It seems he only carries halogen -> LED conversion. I'm looking to go from LED -> halogen. I'll double check with him to be sure, I appreciate the info!
