    Hello all
    Just bought a 2013 grade tundra
    Want to replace the milky headlights with some aftermarket’s . Problem is there’s an extra connection on the back of the oem housings that no one mentions anywhere . The new ones don’t have it and I’m baffled . Help !! Is this a crossover 2013 into the 2014 and up changes ?
    It’s a big molded connection around the lower adjustment star wheel

    Those are for the headlight adjusters. You should have a switch below and to the left of your steering wheel that looks like this

    I got lucky and got both of mine off eBay for $200 from a guy that bought, but never installed them. They were OEM
