    factory LEDs with the @iHacker harness. Toyota quality, decent cost, huge improvement. I did the same for my 2016.

    I did the Sequoia LED conversion on my 2012. Prior to that I had replaced the OEM bulbs with Pella bulbs.

    I have no idea, I was working a lot of overtime and paid the body shop to do it when they paint matched the panels under the lights.

    Shop the Toyota part distribution centers (aka, Google the part numbers and see which Toyota parts seller has the best price). If you can catch them during a 25% discount that happen a few times a year, they end up around 250 a headlight. Costs vary and check multiple sources and look what it costs to your door, the shipping fees vary greatly.

    They were. No wiring splices or anything, the only thing that I ended up losing the functionality of was the headlight leveling motors. I legitimately could have done it myself, I just didn't have time between work, getting ready for the holidays, and being the match director at my gun club for USPSA events. Plus, I could afford to pay someone to do it, and that was worth it for me.

    As mentioned here.... Go OEM and head over to the iHacker thread. It makes it plug and play and worth the money. I have no regrets with my TRD Pro conversion.

    I wanted to do the sequoia ones... absolute fire.... double the price and I had more pressing expenses hit when it was time to pull the trigger.

Replaced all parts with smoked mesquite, and L.E.D bright interior lights.
    OEM, OEM, OEM, OEM, and for good measure, OEM. When ever you install anything that isn't OEM and trouble arise, the dealership will lean toward the Aftermarket equipment as the problem. I installed the Headlight Revolution Hood bar light and Morimoto headlights. For unknown reason, my headlight leveling controller switch stop working after installing the headlights. This device allow the driver to lower or rise highlight beam without turning on the high beam lights. I removed the Morimoto and installed the OEM headlight with no success. The Toyota dealership disconnect the hood bar light wiring from the headlights and connected the wiring back to OEM with no success. They suggested the entire hood bar wiring need to be disconnect and reconnect all wiring back to OEM. Lesson learn: Any DIY installation, just remember to trouble shoot the problem yourself before going to the dealership and leaving with a unsuccessful repair diagnostic bill. I will be trouble shooting the problem myself from the steer wheel to the firewall. All suggestions are welcome

    You don't call them stealerships for a reason...and most all places will find a reason to get out of "factory" coverage. I'm a huge fan of using Toyota OEM when necessary, but your problems seem to be from something else since you stated you replaced the Morimoto back to OEM and still had issues. To me, it sounds like the DIY install didn't go as planned and something else is going on.

    I concur with your recommendation and analysis. After the DIY installation of the hood bulge light bar everything was working. Once the morimoto were installed the headlights adjustment level stop working. The OEM headlights has been reinstall minus the hood bugle connection and the problem still exist. My next steps are; verify the headlight level switch is connected, disconnect the light bar
    from the steering wheel column if necessary. All suggestions are well
