    Just got a 2016 sr5 off road and found the headlight leveling switch but it did nothing. When i popped the hood i found a three pin wire harness laying behind each light. Is this for the motor

    Is it the triangle one? You plug it back in and try?

    Didnt even see a port for it. All i see is the manual adjustment screw. Is the motor in a crazy weird spot. The manual says nothing about it

    This is an OEM led headlight but you can see the level plug

    If the truck is used, someone may have swapped out the stock headlights. Maybe the wiring wasnt connected because the aftermarket lights dont have leveling motors?

    Thought about it but looks like a pain in the urs. It has to go in for maintenance soon so ill have them peak at. Maybe i can get them replaced under warranty.
