SR5 Headlight Upgrade

Hi! I’m an owner of a 2019 Toyota Tacoma SR5 and in need of some help. I just recently upgraded my headlights from the boring factory SR5 headlights to some aftermarket headlights similar to the TRD assembly. Everything works on them BUT the DRL LED strip but not because it’s broken but because I’m unable to get it hooked up. I purchased the conversion wires as well but couldn’t find use for them. I’m hoping it’s a simple solution but I’m sure it’s not. Anyone have any ideas? Yes, I purchased these headlights from Amazon. I know, not smart. I’ve attached them to this post. Someone help!!!

 

Looks like you ordered the wrong model… it says “for factory with led drl” reffering to the trd model. Sr5s don’t come with a led drl. No way to hook these up afaik, you’ll have to purchase sr/sr5 specific headlights. I have morimotos on my sr5, great headlights but pricey

 

Can you tap the LED positive wire into your original parking lights wire?

There are probably two wires coming off led. One red +, one black -

Find the positive wire on the parking lights and tap into that. When you turn on parking lights, LED strip will come on? Does SR5 have DRL?

 

I’ve had these on my 2020 for 3 years and no issues the drl also works. Plug and play. I love these lights. Look at my plugs.

Yeah notice how these it says for Tacoma sr/sr5, and not compatible with Trd models with the led drl. not sure if you want to go thru all the trouble of returning and all that especially if you already installed them. The turn signal connector for the trd and sr5 models are different, so I’m not sure how you’d hook it up, it would be so much wiring to do that it would just be easier to buy different lights
