TRD Pro/Trailhunter Heritage Grille Swap (Upper & Lower Grill) on SR5, with part numbers

[Dead Horse]

Well that escalated quickly.

I thought that I would just find the wires and start drilling access holes.

Toyota says HELL NAW WE'RE GONNA MAKE THIS RIDICULOUS. This single light has more wiring than most car stereos LOL

This is where the factory connector comes in (that's it at the bottom), so this is where the magic will need to happen (I think). I cannot get that wire connector on the inside loose, there's a metal frame behind it that would need to come off first.

I can't remove that board, or hardly anything else, due to the location of the screws. The entire housing is snapped together in at least two pieces, but I can't for the life of me get them to come apart. No amount of prying and tugging has done it. Pretty sure it's bonded somehow and the clips were just there to hold it temporarily. This is when headlights go in the oven I think LOL

@Dead Horse you're doing the lord's work

@kburrito FYI, we figured it out. You'll have to take it apart, cut the internal wiring harness, and make your own.

holy hell you guys did it!

I assume then by making your own harness, the only control you have is application of power to turn the light bar off and on?

Yup. But that was my goal. I didn't want to have to have my brights on or any other computer shenanigans.

I have the aux switches, so I only need to run about two feet of wire from the light to the pre-wired drop behind the headlight. Pulling under 10 amps, so that's easy peasy.

I now have everything I need for a full grill swap except some screws to attach the light. So I just need the time now lol

And to decide if I want to swap the fogs and do TH headlight$$$ too.
