My '16 SR5 of course did not come with the LED DRLs, but I like how they look so I bought the proper headlight housings used off eBay. I assumed they would be a plug-and-play replacement on my truck. It appears not.
Problem #1 - the new housings have an extra (5th) pigtail coming off them, which does not exist on my stockers. I don't seem to have a matching connection on the truck tucked away somewhere. Is this the connection for the LEDs? Why wouldn't the truck already be wired for DRLs?
Problem #2 - the inner running light bulb is different on the new housings. Roughly the same size as my stocker, but the mounting tabs are exactly reversed. And, the plug itself on the back of the bulb in the new housings is entirely different than on my stockers. Wouldn't be an issue, if the mounting tabs weren't also different.
Why the hell would there be two entirely different headlight housings? More importantly, is there any way to retrofit these LED DRL housings into my SR5?
