    So I purchased these headlights and im stuck. I purchased it from AlphaRex with the converter and its not "Plug and Play" as many videos suggest as far as 2020 models go. If anyone can help me and others out with this problem with a "Step-by-Step" or a video walk-through that would be awesome.

    I tried following other videos and other walk-through's conducted on older Tacomas to no avail.
    I've left comments on a few instillation videos and emailed a few sellers including AlphaRex. Currently waiting for a response.

    Any help is much appreciated as I would like to NOT have bought these for nothing.

    This is the back of the AlphaRex Headlight

    There are multiple connectors on the light and the conversion kit. There is only one connector that powers the stock lights coming from the truck it-self

    Yeah, looking at it, it looks like these were for the non LED headlights. Used with the halogen headlights. I can see the different plugs for high beam, low beam etc. This doesn't look like a plug and play for the OEM full LED headlights that only has one plug.

    So, looks like you can return them, or start cut and splicing wires to make it work.

    Thanks.

    So also a little update that I got from AlphaRex:

    Currently working on a conversion kit for the Single Connector Versions. Asked for a time frame and if the kit will work with the current lights I have so I don't need to return them and they ghosted, Lol.

    I thought about the cutting and splicing but I'm not very good at that so I'm probably going to see if one of my friends can do it. If not ill just hold out for the conversion kit if that is indeed what they come out with. I hope down the line they don't just modify the housing and wiring in the light it-self because then I'd need to buy a whole new set. But we shall see cause I really would like these lights on my truck.

    Appreciate it guys and I hope this helps others, that have a 2020, that are thinking of getting them as well.
