Upgrading to OEM LED Headlights! Tacoma Install + Review (81150-04290, 81110-04290)

[@humblebee367]

Just did this install and took me about 2hrs. Khloe always makes it look easy. The hardest part was getting the fenders back in place nice and tight. Well worth the time and effort.

[@BabakPA]

Chloe always maintains her smile and every time I see any of her videos I can’t help but to smile as well! Be safe Chloe and thank you for your amazing videos🌹

[@katieraso7661]

Thank you for doing this. You've given me so much confidence to do these mods myself. I just did this one on my 2019 Tacoma and it went flawlessly. The step by step instructions you give in your videos are great. I've done a few of the mods you've posted about now and all turn out perfect. Thank you!!

[@southernfried19]

Did you have to adjust the headlights (aim) or were they perfect straight from the box?

[@elejaces]

Update: happy to report I finally installed my LED headlights, and they are FANTASTIC! Super easy to install using your video. Thank you also for the link to get them and the Chloe discount! I also used the time to install a Heritage grille, my truck just looks awesome! And the LED upgrade is a BIG upgrade. Much better visibility at night, plus the sharper looks as well.

[@Lacotaco22]

Which oem led headlight and wiring harness did you use?

[@elejaces]

@@Lacotaco22 I used the one you recommended in your video. It worked perfectly! Thank you!

[@nathanstribrny3832]

Wow seeing that price, Im glad I ordered my Tacoma with the LED headlights. Can't wait to see them in person and I hope they're as good as I expect.

[@billysyms5761]

The Taco is like my Harley, the truck was the down payment on all the accessories! Great job Chloe!

[@FreshlySnipes]

I just picked up a 2023 TRD Sport that came with the OEM LED’s. They are super bright and I would recommend them to anyone as an upgrade. They are as bright as the Laser Lights on my 2022 BMW M3.

[@ericgarcia3287]

love them (new headlights), they look great on your truck. I just wish your discount code was 20% since 5% doesn't really offset the price.

[@chadkrueger7538]

Wow what a great investment, not only do they look good but they cast way more light than the originals! Great video Chloe

[@Turbinelife87]

Well the price shattered my dreams of having led's on my 2022 taco. I just realized the projection headlights are awesome

[@beefraz9510]

These are some of my favorite headlights. Surprisingly, they played a big factor in the truck I selected. They are styled beautifully and will last a long time in terms of relevance in (light) design.

[@buricasoltica7865]

$100 bucks and 5 minutes of work Sylvania Zevo LED H11 gives the Tacoma excellent 6000K white light with exceptional forward and side throw. Cut off is very defined and no people flashing their brights at you.

[@jamesg6792]

I made sure my 2022 TRD Sport had these LED lights from factory. They are absolutely awesome and well worth the 480 bucks for the option.

[@danielm3434]

Ordered my harness and lights today. Can't wait, the OEM halogens in my 2018 are horrible. Thank you for the video!

[@SlingingLead]

My Taco is a 2014. I haven't found anything aftermarket that looks better than OEM so far.

[@TheRedComet1821]

Well I thought I didn't have a hole burning in my wallet but now I do and now I know what I want to spend it on. Looks great Chloe!

[@ChloeKuo]

Lol, sorry 😄🤷🏻‍♀️

[@SpaceTiger90]

I won’t lie, I just got home from work and started watching the video about how you were gonna change the lights. Moments later I dozed off and woke back up to you taking off the grill and the sides and was like “we still changing the lights here…right?” Haha they do look awesome though!!

[@ChloeKuo]

Haha, it is quite a few steps to get to the headlights!

[@SpaceTiger90]

@@ChloeKuo It definitely was interesting to see what you had to do! I didn’t think it would require to tear the whole front to get to the light haha

[@18switchfoot]

Besides the power seats in the 2020 Tacoma. Another big reason I went with the 2020 Tacoma was because of the led lights with the sequential turn signal!! Nice work Chloe!! I have the exact same silver Tacoma 2020 trd off road with the LED headlights!

[@TruOnyxfire]

Very good video, Chloe! It's really amazing how you can do pretty much anything and do it well. You're the only channel I have that I sit through the ads for. :)

[@ChloeKuo]

Thank you so much!

[@northhaven2501]

Good to see you showed all LEDs available to take any confusion out. Waiting for my 22 TRD Sport to arrive here in Canada and Dave's harness is a must I've found out. Just shopping out non PRO LEDs. You are now bookmarked. Cheers

[@cpsmonroe1]

I have the 3rd gen oem led’s and can say they are worth it. So nice to not have to dick around with crappy retrofits like on my 2nd gen. Output is tremendous.

[@erickhernandez3918]

Got me highly motivated to make the same upgrade

[@gasp23]

Thank you for the video! I ordered the headlights from Sparks and they came super quick and very nicely packaged. Followed your video and got mine all set this weekend! You rock!

[@Nitecap573]

Mine just arrived from Sparks Toyota. Still waiting for the wiring harness. Can’t wait to install them. Thanks for the coupon code!

[@EricAdler01]

I was wondering when you would upgrade your headlights! One of the first major mods I did to my taco was upgrading my headlights and tail lights. Keep up the great content Chloe! :)

[@MrWeliz]

I was just browsing thru Sparks website for my Tacoma license plate lights and yes they are about $10 cheeper but shipping is $16.

[@tonysteele3805]

They look cooler definitely but that beam cutoff on the lower ones is so good!

[@allentolbert8404]

CK back at it I just love seeing you happy doing what you love much Love to you and family CK stay safe out there 🙏

[@wilyceyote]

Like it I’m glad you tell people difference between OEM headlights and aftermarket headlights because most aftermarket headlights are non-DOT approved and you can be ticketed for illegal headlight too riding with my Jeep in Toyota Buddy’s

[@shane.henderson]

Chloe your channel is so bad for my wallet! I've got a 2021 cement grey TRD-OR and every time I think I wouldn't want to do anything else to it you come out with something like this. BTW, I really appreciate how clear the instructions are in your videos.

[@ChloeKuo]

😊

[@beaviskornholio2754]

Wow, you really are brave. I couldn't take the bumper off of a vehicle that I have only owned for 2 years. The lights and the installation was very good. Your also really good now at taking your car apart. Definitely looking forward to your next video.

[@ChloeKuo]

Thank you 😊

[@walkr7998]

really nice! I had no idea how expensive an upgrade like this was though.... maybe one day!

[@mrk8521]

Mine came with the leds. They are awesome. Super bright. Even in the rain. Be prepared for people in little cars to constantly be flashing their highbeams at you at night though. Lol

[@beefraz9510]

True story, I experience the same.

[@mikeschoolcraft21]

I ordered the aluminum oil filter housing after changing the oil for the first time. I had to take the pro skid plate off and use a 2 ‘ breaker bar to get the plastic one off. It was so tight I had a aluminum one on my Avalon.

[@ChrisGarafola]

Dang, these look slick-Sparks Parts always hookin' it up! Amazing video per usual, Chloe!

[@jasonjohnson-rustvold5099]

Price objections aside, you do amazing videos! Great job, Chloe!

[@Ramonperez590]

Ridiculously pricey! Can’t justify the replacement of my 21 tacoma OEM headlights 😜 but I have to be fair excellent job CHLOE !👍

[@Chattsteezy]

@@Ramonperez590 I know this is a super late reply but its crazy how pricey these are!! Its a $485 option from the factory and these are $1500+ if your truck didn't come with them(like mine hence why i'm here). Absolute robbery.

[@thomasw5003]

Looks great! Appreciate the detail in your videos. Real easy to follow step by step.

[@drewncars9505]

While I plan to also upgrade to the LED OEM lights I am glad that the halogen ones have an LED C light/drl. That was one thing I wished my Subaru had was the LED C light it just looks so much better

[@vz3692]

Now add paint protection film on them. You wont regret it.

[@STZNCCTX]

I do that to all my headlights and it does wonder on the clarity over time.

[@kolby2270]

Those look so good! I wish they were LED from the factory, but hey, another mod to do!

[@stayraddad4638]

Hey Chloe . Great tutorial and help with getting this set up . I had a question about your parts numbers listed . I used the parts numbers and Sparks sent me one standard and one trd pro . Super weird. I am waiting for a response from them . I was curious though, were you able to find parts numbers for the pro version vs the standard version ? I was half way into the install when I realized the difference so may be stuck with one of each. It doesn’t look bad but it’s just strange . Figured I’d ask you since you had looked into parts numbers and knew more about the different version headlights. Thanks :)

[@jeffreycuellar241]

You upgraded to the 2020 OEM LED, I have those on my 20 taco, I prefer the projector on the taco, there are a lot of potential price problems with the new LED HL with sequential blinkers, the after market LED bulbs are much brighter, than the new LED’s from Toyota, but hey to eachs own.

[@AlexJimenez-it8bb]

My question will be do I get into a limited 2019 Tacoma?

[@jiveh4x]

i expected a cleaner beam pattern since the replacements are OEM lights. the cutoff on your original lights looked cleaner.

[@tails300]

That’s because the halogen ones were projector style. Reflectors don’t have as great of a cut off, for example my new Camry has projector style LEDs and the cut off is clean like her before picture.

[@dylandesrocher1873]

So I’ve been told the original wiring harness must be replaced with a harness that will work for a 6 pin prong adaption, my 2021 Tacoma TRD off-road currently runs off a 2 pin harness for my halogen lights I very much dislike. So I see you have figured it out and you make this look so easy ! I’ve got to ask was the correct wire harness an expensive purchase for your new TRD pro LED headlights ? Also can you please let me know the price of them and where I can purchase them because I too want them so bad ! Hope to hear from you soon Chloe !

[@553jjj]

thats what i want...to install the 2023 LED housing on my 2022 halogen housing..instaed of aftermarkets which youre not sure of...when you say OEM, it's gtenuine toyota parts, right?

[@CM-qn4io]

Very detailed bumper removal video Chloe! Is there any way we can adjust that bracket where the bumper clips on the passenger side? Above the fender flare? There is a gap, while on the driver side it is perfectly lined up.

[@ChloeKuo]

I have always found this to be difficult, and can never get it to line up perfectly. I'm not sure if there's a method other than trial and error with how much you tighten down that bolt
