Any chance we can get some photos of the entire front of the runner with the parking lights on, possibly a video of the turn signals activated?

This video from the first post shows all of that. I took this after installing the 06 headlights but I no longer run the lower DRLs in the bumper, just the ones in the 06 headlight assembly.

This video shows parking lights, turning signals, low beams, etc.

No problemo! It really is a relatively easy swap and the benefits from the swap are awesome.

Just wanted to say thank you to @Krayziekid for this thread and all the help he gave me! Install is very straightforward other than that pesky 4th bolt under the bumper! I have an 05 w/o DRL's and wanted to use the new 06 turn signals as my parking light as well so I wired both colored wires from the new harness to the green wire of the stock parking light. Wired a 35w 5000k HID kit to the lows and LED's for the two parking lights.

Here are some pics with the new black housings!

I've installed the new headlights, but would like to leave the factory wiring intact. Anybody the part# for the socket I'd need? (Planning on wiring the new ones identically to the old ones, not including the turn signal)

Great write-up. I may be able to help for those not looking to spend a fortune on headlights. Depo is one of the better choices for aftermarket headlights, better than TYC. I can get the Depo versions of these and can probably help you guys out. Has anyone tried the Depo yet?

What do you mean? Are you talking about the 03 factory socket part# or the new 06 factory socket part#?

Sorry, should have been clearer

I'm okay with cutting the socket off the new parking light harness, I don't want to cut into the old '03 harness. Again, this is the parking lights, not headlights

I want to find a (female?) socket to connect to the old '03 wiring harness. I would than solder the two hot wires together and convert the 3-wire harness -> 2-wire to match the '03 harness

Hmmm I'm honestly not sure how you would go about doing that.

Curious to hear how everything turned out. Was this cost effective vs going with aftermarket headlights?

Personally I think this was cost effective. I am not a huge fan of the aftermarket headlights, cause I always seem to have bad luck, but plenty of other people seem to have good experiences. I will gladly pay a bit more for OEM housings. In my mind, it was 100% worth it.

As for performance, I again think it was 110% worth it. The 06 headlights definitely offer more light down the road with the right bulbs and it is an upgrade I was happy to have.

I tested with some TRS 4157 LED bulbs for the bottom, and then just some autozone 1156 LED bulbs up top. It will still work with one normal filament bulb, and one LED bulb, but the way they flash looks funky, as the LED is on/off, and the filament sorta fades in and out, making it look strange. Since there is a 27w cap for each side, I think I'm just going to use normal filament bulbs for both and stay under that 27w max.

It's a shame the dual LEDs didn't work. Would have really liked it to. That being said, are there any other LEDs that I should look in to that may put out more light/draw more power? I tried to figure out how much wattage the TRS bulbs draw, but couldn't. Would dual TRS or VLED bulbs make a difference?
I don't know if this answer is too simple, but in order to fix the flashing/load problem without having different looking flashers in front, what if you kept regular bulbs in all 4 front turn signals, and put led's in the REAR? That way, you don't overload everything, and the different flash is only seen from the rear (or side, I guess)?

That might work, but honestly I'm fine just running the normal bulbs for now. They get the job done.

I'm not sure if the relay is 4 channels @ 27w each though. If that is the case, then that means changing the back won't affect the front at all.
