So I have a 2019 big horn and I heard I can upgrade to the limited and longhorn headlights as long as I have the wire harness and the grille from the longhorn. Anybody can confirm or deny this?
 
So on this topic, I was wondering if you could take the limited headlights, and a TRX grill and under headlight trim piece and fit them together to put on a rebel? Any thoughts or ideas? I think the limited and TRX are the same headlight shape and the grill/trim pieces from the TRX I think are close to that of a rebel.
 
You're better off getting a Limited/Longhorn grille, since there are subtle differences between the TRX and Limited/Longhorn grilles, including the center hood dimple, the flat bottom edge (against the bumper), and the fact that TRX fenders are wider than Limited/Longhorns. The headlight units are basically the same, however.

Here's the TRX:

And here's my Longhorn (with the chrome slat grille... there's another insert with the same pattern as the bumper trim piece):

Here's my Limited/Longhorn next to my pal's Big Horn. Pretty much everything in the grille area would need to be swapped, except the 'eyebrow' for him to have these headlights. He says they look too squinty for his liking... but even though I have a painted bumper, I still prefer the pattern in the bumper's trim piece... which is what the Limited/Laramies have.

Here's that other grille insert I was talking about:

Hope that helps, seeing it all next to one another.

Do you know the part number for the trim piece under the lights? Looks like its a two piece design that runs along the bottom of the grille
 
Sorry to bring an old thread back from the dead but will limited lights plug and play with a bighorn with level 2 LED package? I understand the grill and surrounding pieces are different but do the lights work without an extra harness? Thank you!!

No, you need the harness. And you need programming if you ever the adaptive lights to work too. Not necessary, but nice to have.

As long as you have the LED package you won't need a harness for the lights. Plug and play.
Grille- limited/longhorn
Lights- make sure to have the bottom facia pieces on both sides
Bumper end panels- holes will need to be filled and painted if you don't have the wheel flares already
