    I got the OEM TRD PRO tail lights and I love them , is there a projection headlight blacked out ? I found some 1200$ ones but I kind of want OEM , THX C88A54B1-7E41-4E20-B7B9-143FABAF5FA3.jpg

    Get the pros, no chrome. I’m in the boat of shoulda, coulda, woulda. I just didn’t want to be a pro poser, and didn’t think it through. Lots of thc involved during that purchase.

    Same difference? It’s a harness that takes the halogens 4 plugs and ties them into the single plug for the led

    Just saying, for $1200 it’s worth the browse, and the oem is well worth it over anything else out there.

    If your truck has OEM LED already (lucky you) then you have three options:

    1. DIY BHLM — not for the faint of heart. Low cost but high risk
    2. Send to @no vtec 4me for him to BHLM — can do fancy sidemarker, gonna cost some money and shipping.
    3. Swap to pro’s and resell your non pros — could be done without significant cost, maybe $200-$300 price difference between new and used.

    If you have halogen headlights then the third option changes in terms of value of your existing headlights and you need a conversion harness or cut and crimp directly.

    Kevin can do them. It’s just not terribly cost effective vs upgrading to OEM LED if you have halogen projectors.
