    Question, I got a great deal on 2021 headlights for my 2017 TRD Offroad, but that guy lives in Canada. Is there any difference in specs or does anybody know if that's an easy swap with new wire harness?
    Thank you

    There’s a conversion harness out there that’s needed to use LEDs on a non LED Runner. Not sure about the differences between Canadian and US lights.

    Yeah, I know about the conversion kit but really not sure if there are any other differences. I heard their DRLs have to run automatically all day, but not sure.

    Oooh look, another mod.....
    You're correct on that. Canadian law mandates that DRL's are on while the vehicle is running. That means they'll be on all the time. Other than that, it's an easy install with the conversion kit.

    That function would be controlled by the truck, not in the headlight.

    I wouldn't expect much variety, just make sure you know which LED headlight it is since I believe there are two or three kinds? My 2021 has halogen high beams but I know they went to LED highs later.
