so it can be done!!
found a very good source of purchasing new parts instead of used.
example i paid for the fog cover bezel 45 used. new with this source costs 21.
things like that. modules that went for 250 used costs 90 new etc etc.
that made things easier.
i have attached some pics
i need to know the wiring for the headlight please help me

Are you just looking for wiring diagrams of the '14-'19 LEDs or what marcotulio wired up? If the latter... looks like he hasn't logged in since 12-27-18.

You should reach out to this owner on GXOR. He converted an AFS HID equipped 10-13 model to '14+

The LAND CRUISER PRADO piece, that has the curved cutout in it. Did you have to change the body piece around the license place frame? Or, does this just fit higher on the GX rear?

I have a 2013 Base and am sourcing parts to do a 14+ facelift. Since my GX doesn’t have AFS, will I have an issue using lights from a 2018 Premium?

I’m not sure on that answer but am pretty sure that I’m going to buy this kit and get it done to my 13. Spoke with my friend who owns a body shop and he can do the paint work for me. Have another who knows lighting and wiring so I’m giving it a serious thought.


Kit that I’m looking at.


The newer kit has the newer tail lights. Their photos for these show one with side moldings - more likely than not it is the kit on a car. Some of the sellers seem to use a new GX in their.photos.

Having a 2011 base headlights, I think where people run into issues is the separated high beam light from the DLR on 14+ assembly. I think you would have to leave high beam as is and probably wire the DLR to the parking lights. I may start picking up each piece as I run across them on eBay. The headlights seems to be the only issue with this conversion mod.

Thanks. I do not like DRLs. If they will work without having to use the DRL, I’ll go that route.

So I finally decided to buy this for my 13 and, lucky me, they do not ship to the east coast!! They also do not answer emails and have no phone number. If you are on the east coast, don’t bother. I’d like this but have no way to get it.

Upon inquiring about one of the full 2021 updates to the new GX, the shipping is $2,300 from China. Wow - just wow. I do wish there was someone else on the eastern seaboard who would like to go in and buy an update kit with me so we can split the shipping. That’d be the way to go.
