    Long winter nights are going to be much brighter now. I also picked up Rough Country 30" LED light bar for the lower grille area that will get installed soon. And will figure out what I want for fog lamps.

    Good evening folks, just purchased a 2023 TRD sport with the LED DRL, would also like to convert my Halogens to the OEM LED from the pro. Has there been any wiring changes since 2021 that would prevent this install with the aftermarket conversion harness?

    You should be able to plug and play those lights right onto you truck with the conversion harness. I have not read of any changes to the wiring since the headlight assembly is unchanged.

    Thanks for the reply, I haven't read anything either. FBC site doesn't allow me to ship to Canada, I ordered a Morimoto H128 harness for the conversion. However the vendor indicated that they thought a wiring change had occurred for the 2022-2023 year and that the harness may not be compatible. Ironically other sites do show that the H128 harness works for 2016-current.

    I have a 2022, and used the FBC harness with oem led headlights and am 100% happy with the setup.

    FBC is on here @daveeasa ,and I'm sure you can work out on shipping?

    No wiring changes as spikey mentioned. You’ll be fine. Make sure harness ground (often solid black on harnesses other than FBC) is connected to OEM ground (always white w black stripe) and you’ll be fine.

    If you are close to the border, you can have it sent to a parcel delivery location, then drive down and pick them up. I also had my headlights delivered there and saved on shipping fees. I use TSB Shipping in Point Roberts, but there are places along the border across the US.

    Not to far from the border, looking into depots in Montana. Shipping to Canada is expensive.

    Anyone know how long the swap would take in total? I have 2 hours to kill tomorrow morning, wondering if that would be enough time.

    Yes it is possible. I had mine done in a little over an hour. And some of that time was eaten up by my neighbor chit-chatting with me for a while.

    I just want to add on thing... after the headlight is unbolted and only connected at the inside lower corner clip, I found it easier to slide the headlight inboard off this clip rather than pull straight out. I then slid the new headlight into the clip by carefully positioning the assembly into place.

    IMO, don't give yourself limited time to do the swap. While it's not terribly hard, it's not something you want to rush because it does include partially removing bumper and you don't want to damage the new headlights by forcing anything on.

    I’d feel comfortable doing it in 2h now that I’ve done it once. I spent more than that the first time.
