    Hi Everyone, I had a question. I recently got a 2020 Tundra TSS off-road and I am thinking about changing out the headlight assembly to a LED one. I was considering playing it safe with the OEM trd pro headlight assembly but was also curious about other aftermarket headlight assembly’s if anyone has had any experiences with them or has advice I would really appreciate it! I don’t really want to break the bank on them lol

    Welcome. A 2020 didn’t come with LEDs? That seems ridiculous. I went with the OEM for my 17 and I’m very happy. They were less expensive than Morimoto and I know if Toyota puts them on new trucks they tested them thoroughly.

    Lots of threads on this topic in the forum - the search function is your friend. With that said, go with the TRD Pro LED headlights you won’t regret it...plus you can get free shipping!

    Some just replace the bulbs in the stock Halogen housings others like me replace the entire assembly.

    This thread is a good place to start:

    Oem is always the way to go. Not worth saving money to have leaky or fog in your headlights later down the road.

    OEM all the way. I try to stick with TRD parts when it comes to Toyota.

    I agree with the others. Go OEM and you won't have any issues. My 2019 came with the same headlights as yours, so you need to also purchase a harness for them. I went with the one from @iHacker. One of the best mods I made to the truck.
