it always seems easy when someone else is doing it!
Honestly though, i think most of the times I'm afraid of starting a project, I would be fine if I just had a "yes man" to confirm that what I was thinking is the correct decision ...and maybe to correct me if I get frustrated and just want to make a snap decision.

thx for the info...can u provide any info as to the wiring of the new headlights into the 14 harness? I would have replied earlier, but site was shutdown...i think....or my computer and phone couldn't access it. any info u can provide is GEATLY appreciated!!
I reread your post and looked at your pics again...I see you converted the headlights to mate to the '14 harness/plug. Do you think that's better than changing the harness to mate to the new headlights??

so 3 wires are for low beam LED & 2 wires for the high beam LED....I see you cut the plugs off of the '14 headlights and used those... 
I wonder if one of those 3 wires to the low beam, provides power for when the DRL switch is activated...as in less voltage so they are not as bright....wondering cuz i could use that wire to power the DRL.s from the 2017 bumper.....or just run the aftermarket switch kit....hhhmmmmm

I got mine done this past week....still gotta do a few things tho......gotta wire in the high beams and the DRLs are hooked up to one of the Amazon/EBay relays that turns them on automatically when the engine is on by sensing the voltage, then turns them off when u kill the engine....the emblem finally came in today...ill do that ths weekend also

Sorry i just saw this. I see below you already finished.
2014 Corolla S.....no corners sticking out...i don't think.....it was a toyota oem part....maybe thats why it fit ok...t has some scratches on it...used from EBay....
I didn't wire in the DRL wire from the 2014 to the 2017 headlights.....my headlights come on in all positions except off......maybe i should hook it up from the 2014 to 2017 headlights.....did u hook yours up that way>

When i did my Se swap i just wired my drls into my foglights and used them at night. I never used drls because i didnt want anything to burn out fast. I turned off Drls through my touch screen radio it gave an option. At night the lights are btight.
Yea my se grille was oem too and ive seen a few other people who did the swap too and the edge corners of the color matched upper Se grille would not flush with the hood the ends of the grille would stick out above the hood a little

ill check mine a lil later and see if they stick out....no, i know how u hooked up your 2017 DRLs to the foglight plugs, but I'm talking about the 3 pin headlight plug.....1 pin is low beams, one is DRL, & 3rd in gnd. I hooked up the low beams and ground, but didn't hook up the DRL wire from the 2014 to '17plug. In the 6 pin plug on the '17 headlights, one of the wires is marked for DRLs.
sorry, my computer doesn't always let me log in to this site for some reason.....I asked the tech about being a different model, he said they were all the same.
As far as the upper grill sticking out on the corners, mine does also. But, I also have a '17 & '19 SE in our family. They both do it also.
