Any difference between 2020/2021 headlight designs?

[MikeyHo808]

There is a set of LED aftermarket headlights that I have been looking at, but vendor says it doesn't fit a 2021 Bighorn. 19-20 models only.
Is the vendor yanking me, or was there an actual difference? Anyone with a 2020 ever install these lights?
They look pretty close to OEM, and helluva lot cheaper. Actually found one guy with an unused set for cheaper. But I know, I know...You get what you pay for, right?!?!??
Just curious, because that seems odd that it wouldn't fit.

Pardon Our Interruption...

As this has been asked and answered before in a couple of threads, I'm just going to link a couple of them for you to read. There is also a lot of other information in those threads you will need to know.

Short answer is no, longer answer is that you need more then just the headlights (harness and a way to program them either dealer or dyi with alfaobd and required parts)

Thanks.
I do have an OBDII interface and AlphaOBD, so would just need the harness if and when I pull the trigger.
I was more inquiring about mounting tabs, different wiring setup, change in design from manufacturer, etc.
Am aware of the extras needed to make it work, but was just curious why a fixture for a 2020 wouldn’t fit on a 2021, and if there was any changes between the model years that makes it incompatible, or if the vendor has no idea what he’s talking about?

Most likely they just don't have a 2022 to test it on. A lot of stuff says it won't work on the '22s simply because they don't have one to test with.
