    Hi guys,

    Long time lurker, first post. I have 2016 1794 with the headlights that have the DRL led strip at the bottom. I hate the chrome inside them and found a set of 2021 that look the same but have the black housing. I guess they are from an SR5. Not interested in forking out the cash for the full LED lights so this will do for now. Being that the 2021 have only the bottom LED strip, they should be an exact plug and play with my 16 with no additional harness needed correct?

    Thanks!

    They should drop right in; same connectors, etc.

    The changes in wiring/connectors are between
    1) Trucks w/o any LED DRL
    2) Trucks w/ LED DRL and halogen low/high
    3) Trucks w/ LED DRL and OEM LED low/high

    as long as you are staying within one of those lines, everything is the same; when you jump between lines, you'll need an adapter harness or to get creative with wiring

    Thank you! I ended up pulling the trigger and everything is exactly the same. Plug and play. Only thing that is a pain to get off is the leveling motor plug. I broke off the flange on one of them.
