How difficult is a DIY retrofit? Total project time?

Title.

So I'm still rocking my stock 2018 TRD OR's factory projectors. I want to retrofit the stock housing with the features that I'm looking for.

I love the idea of an amber DRL, and making them look a little more modern by adding a drop in LED housing if possible/if thats even a thing. Just started researching and there's a ton of stuff out there, the cheap crap of which I'm trying to avoid. Love the look of the morimoto xb ambers, but the price is too much. Essentially I would like to recreate a similar look to those using my stock housing and adding some LED stripping and making my turn signals sequential.

I don't want to buy a whole new headlight setup because the cheap shit is, well, cheap and likely to fail. Also don't want to spend north of 1k just for new headlights. I'm no stranger to soldering, adding fuses, all that jazz, so I think that this is a mod that I could tackle myself.

It's also my daily driver, so if its even possible I'd like to knock this project out in a day.

Thanks!

 

You know that saying you get what you pay for .purchase a nice set spend the extra money you will be happier in the long run with a quality item rather than some cheap crap .

 

I'm not looking to purchase a new set, sorry if that wasn't clear. My question was about actually cracking open the stock headlights and adding the features that I want and the difficulty in doing so.

I wouldn’t classify it as difficult. It’s just tedious and gets frustrating. I did mine over the course of a few months and would recommend you get a donor pair so you can take your time. I did a write up that you might find useful here.

 

You'll f something up. I thought about it but went here and couldn't be happier.
