Halogen to led del light conversion questions.

Hey everyone! This is my first post here after using this sight for years with my 2019 SR5 I was curious if anyone knew if this conversion would be a direct swap over with the included wiring in my new OEM headlights or if I would need a new one. Photos are attached to show my stock headlights, they are just the basic halogens without the LED strip on them.

 

Accidentally posted before adding all my photos.

 

@Puppypunter and @daveeasa both used to make conversion harnesses. daveeasa has other more important matters currently I think but puppypunter may still make them or have a few left on the shelf ... assuming you mean "new OEM LED headlights" when you say "new OEM headlights".

 

I’ve been sitting on my new OEM LEDs for way longer than I ever meant to and plan on installing them this weekend (kids under 5 - sheesh!!!)

You need an adapter harness. There are a few threads about it, but I think the latest one is this one:

The harnesses you have are for the TRD halogens. The biggest difference between the two (beyond the physical plugs) is that the TRD trims have separate circuits for turn and DRL. On the SR/SR5 trims, the turn and DRL are combined. So to run the OEM LEDs, those need to be separated. As kindly pointed out by @RichochetRabbit and @Mont Blanc I do still make them. Hit me up with any questions.

 

I'm not sure if its just the lighting... but the strip led section looks more... white/milky? Mine didn't come with that harness either, unless you added it separately.
either way, if you end up going down this route, make sure you do some testing with signals. If you have changed your tail lights it can effect hyper flash. My truck is a 2020 SR5 with oem LED, but also running the Meso tail lights (one of the best upgrades ever for visibility) i have to run the resistors in rear and up front for no hyper flash. but, they run perfect now

 

Yeah, adding resistors or swapping to LEDs in the rear can require a little “balancing”.

 

Once its balanced though it works great! So glad I switched!
