That's the plug you need to move to the 2021 housing

I would say be happy.

It’s been my experience that pulling the connectors out of a plug turns them to shit. Virtually no one has the correct crimp tool to put the correct connectors on if you can even buy them.

Thats why a pigtail is the best option. It’s plug and play. What is so hard for someone to do this. It’s a business opportunity for some of you young guys to make a few bucks on

This thread is truly one big mess. So the retrofit depends on what trim and year you have now and then what you can put in depends on what trim it is coming from? Also, the different trims in 2021 have different combinations of halogen/LED?

.. and then it takes changing adapters and modifying existing ones?

How is all this nonsense better than just buying a Marimoto and paying the extra money for a peace of mind? Hell you get a 5 year warranty.

Morimoto’s gargle goat pickles. See #mynameistory

How hard would it be to maybe have 2 or 3 different pigtails?

Morimoto headlights are actually decent, it's the AlphaRex units that are junk. If anyone wants to see a comparison, have your your headlights drop-shipped to crashnburn80 up in Washington before you take delivery. If his backlog isn't too deep, he'll review them for pattern, optics, color, and intensity.

I sent my Morimoto 2stroke 2.0 LED bulbs (just drop-in bulbs, not headlight assemblies) for him to test. They performed terribly in distance projection.

That's the most positive possible way of framing it sunshine. Enjoy your Morimotos. Think there's another thread for that ;-)

to make a cable harness You still need to source 2 female adapters, pre2021 and 2021 versions... not sure they exist.

OK, got some 2021s from @Nommpop . They were nicely packaged in Morimoto box ...





Took about 2 hours total to swap, though I could do it way faster the second time around - an hour to remove and replace the bumper cover, 30 to replace lights, 30 to screw around with aiming.



For aiming, I started by matching where the halogens were aimed from the port. They were fairly close to the same aim as the original halogens.

They throw a lot more light with much cleaner cutoff and stair-step.



The next day, I took them and did the 25-feet-from-wall-to-Toyota-specs adjustment. That required me to raise them about 1/2-1 inch.

(My truck has the typical 1/2-inch lean so the driver light is lower than the passenger light ... when setting up the line for the adjustment I drew the line in between the two measurements.)



We'll see if that's too high and if I need to adjust them down.

I threw in a S8 light bar in the grille at the same time since I already had everything apart. It's ridiculously bright.



Overall, super happy with the change. The lights work perfectly, they throw much more light and while cooler in color temperature are not "HID" or "Xenon" white - I'd guess more like 4k.

The transaction with @Nommpop was smooth - cheaper than the dealer, fast ship, good packaging, connectors were well done.

My wife has a limited, and I'm going to hit him up for a second pair.

You do see the funny rectangles against walls but I don't notice them when driving.

Happy to answer questions.

Sup boyos. Can't seem to be able to pm anyone, just joined the other night after running into this thread; looking to upgrade to oem led on my '19 off road. Someone mind sending a pm with how to make contact with Nommpop/alex?

Wonder what you can get for the oem '19 headlights? Anyone sell their older oem's?

Go to his post, and at the bottom right (from the desktop view), there should be a "reply with quote" link. That should notify him of your post.

I'm checking this thread out to see if there's any questions I can answer so I see your post. Make a few more contributions on the forum (I think 5 is the magic number) so you can send me a PM with your phone number and I'll get in contact with you. Right now there's a waiting list and I'm getting them out as fast as I'm getting them

Hi...sent you a PM a moment ago. Thank you

Lights look good.

A guy on YouTube (TRD Jon) did a short review of the Pro LED lights.

It's pretty clear that the low-beam and high-beam are the same lamp, and that all the high beam does is slide some sort of barrier upwards to allow more light to shine aimed higher up as a result.

So that is why they changed from a 2-pin to a 4-pin plug. 2 pins for power, and 2 pins to give some sort of signal for the lamp to raise the barrier.

Accordingly, it seems using the Pro/Limited units will be more complicated because you will need to figure out how to mirror that signal.

That said, he gives the high beams a thumbs-down review, so I think for those that want OEM, using non-Pro/Limited is the right path.
