    I haven’t seen any for OEM headlights but some places might have a percent off shipping

    100% agree. Toyota needs to understand that nobody likes chrome. That chrome bezel around the “TRD” “PRO”, is such an eye sore. Totally kills the vibe. Should’ve just blacked it all out. Perhaps they’ll change it in the next couple years.

    is there any reason someone can’t buy the 2020 trd conversion harness along with the sr5->trd conversion harness to make that work? A couple extra bucks obviously and not truly “plug and play”, but a very good option still.

    What changes is the turn/drl feature of the SR/SR5 and the connector vs the separate DRL, TURN of the other models. Been done, but OTC item yet.

    P.S. @Puppypunter is STILL working on an OTC for the not-so-DIY persons.
    Mine involves "lots" of work I've been told.

    Does anyone have pics of the lights on and from the drivers view? Can’t find any other than just drls on. Having a hard time deciding between oem and morimoto’s. The oem halogen is barely anything even on a dark road...lol.

    There’s a post by @crashnburn80 directly comparing these to morimotos. Oem outperforms the morimotos.

    Yea, i’ve been reading that page for a while but it only shows one light at a garage door. Just curious what the view is like going down the road. I googled and only found pics of them off and of the drl’s lit. I currently have the DD SL1’s paired with oem led fogs and regret not going full headlight.

    The shorter wavelength makes reflective stuff pop out. I took a bunch of photos and videos but they are all horrible. With no reference point it’s just light. Kinda Star Wars ish.

    I would really like to drive the OEM LED and H9 bulb mod back to back on a dark road to get a good feel for absolute performance. But as far as white LED light goes, there is really no option other than OEM LED which makes any sense to me. I really wonder why I took so long to decide.

    So if I want the LED headlights in my 2021 Sport , I just need to reach out to @xrunnerdude67 and purchase the wiring harness adapter?
    Its plug and play after that point?

    The conversion harness is plug and play for OffRoad and Sport, yes. Anyone with halogen headlights with L shaped LED DRL.
