2023 retrofit headlights into a 2014

[Dianna]

Hey guys, I know there are quite a few threads on this, but I just spent and hour reading through posts and still don't know what I need to do to install a set of 2023 TRD Pro headlights I just bought, into my 2014. My housings are peeling and are in poor shape, so just replacing the bulbs was not an option. Can someone who has done this please help, or direct me to a source that explains how to accomplish the swap? Much appreciated

I believe someone has made an adapter/harness for the LED high/low connection , search retro fitting headlights and read through the forums. I was one of early ones who purchased the LED low / halogen high and it was a pin swap basically. The process to remove the bumper is straight forward and installation took maybe 30-45 minutes taking my time.

FYI!! measure /mark off the current head lights cut off light beam from about 20-25 ft on a flat surface to a wall. Use this as your base to adjust the current head lights.

Thank you! I never thought about marking my current headlight beam before removal. I don't want to keep reading through threads about install, as it seems there are a lot of opinions but not a lot of people who have actually done the swap! Also different high beam options. At this point, I don't mind paying for a harness that makes it easier to just plug and play.

Might be something to look into;

I used a video osugsxr posted in a previous thread about the pin swap. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-O48A2-zKQ

Easy to do. I did a couple other buddies 4R couple weeks after mine.

Looks like the 2023 TRD Pro headlights are different than the 2021 "non-pro." I don't want to damage my electrical system or melt my new headlights. Anyone else with experience swapping in the 2023 TRD Pros?

Definitely look into that harness from FBC. There are a few options for the ‘22+ headlights. Next week I will have the FBC harness and a set of ‘23 headlights to swap onto my ‘15 Limited.

Please let me know which harness you purchased and how the swap goes!

The harness I purchased is the quad high beam version. Should have everything I need on Tuesday.

What is different about the 2023 Pro lights?
The FBC site stated that the 2021 lights are low-beam LED only, while the newer ones are Bi-LED, and there's a shutter to activate the LED high beam.
I followed the YouTube video above and got mine working.
Mine is a 2022 set; it has three wires, one for positive, one for negative, and one for the LED high beam (Shutter wire). I left the wire for the shutter untouched.

Looking at your ebay link, I don't think those have led lowbeams. It almost looks like it has led parking lights and still uses halogen bulb for the lowbeams.
Best thing for you to do is to get a 2021+ OEM Led headlights and retro harness.
