I'd be willing to risk it and test them. Worst case, it doesn't work and I toss them in a storage bin or donate them to a 22 Limited owner. I'm no stranger to buying parts that don't work and sit around afterwards. You should see my guns and gear hobby

I bought an extension harness like this. Amazon.com: iJDMTOY (2) H11 H8 H9 Extension Wiring Harness Sockets Wires Compatible With Headlights or Fog Lights Use : Automotive
and modified them like this:
So the only wire I added is the black wire that takes ground back from the left side to the right side. I'll try to take some pictures of the harness at some point, but it may not look like much since the connections are covered in heat shrink and flexible tubing.
I will also mention that the aftermarket harness that I bought had the red and black wires reversed from the way Toyota does things, so I had to de-pin them and swap them. You could just use red for ground and black for hot if you didn't want to take the time to do that - or the one you buy may be set up correctly.

... cool mod.
You say you only added the black wire, but in your diagram you drew a red loop on the right plug that plugs into the existing harness. It looks like you added a red wire there that loops from black to red on the plug, or am I mis-interpreting things?

He literally *added* that one black wire. He repurposed the other wire to jumper it as shown in the diagram.

Must only apply to the US. I'm up in Canada and have a '22 TRD ORP and I used my high beams for the first time today and was surprised that they came out of the halogen housing.
The Canadian government introduced new lighting laws to curb people who drive "phantom" at night, so maybe this has something to do with it (but I don't really see why it would because don't US limiteds have auto Bi-LEDs?).
The law is that vehicles (as of Sept 2021) must have at least one of the following: automatic headlights; or daylight running taillights; or a dash that isn't illuminated during the day. Toyota elected to put auto headlights in all Canadian 4Runner trims. Not sure if this is the same in the USA.

Or a dash that isn’t illuminated during the day? How does that fit into a list with the other two? Lol

Idk why Toyota didn’t just use LED DRL for all the new 4 runner headlights. It would made our lives alot easier. Lol

Follow-up question: how are y'all finding these after a couple of mos? I'm taking delivery of a 2022 in the next couple of weeks (couldn't stay away from 4Rs) and am interested in the plug-n-play option in particular. If these LEDs can handle being wired in series long-term with no flickering or adverse effects, I'm down. TIA.
