Didn't really know where to put this. Didn't consider it a mod.
Has anyone tried to make regular back up lights with the tail light. You know like american made. or even like the 1stgen.?

The simpilest solution for this is Rumion tail lights. They have the back up light in the regular housing. They are factory so they fit perfectly. Only thing you have to do is run the power wire for the back up light in the bumper to the ones in the tail lights. Here is a link for ease of finding. http://www.newscionparts.com/product/?id=2759 |

What about the TRD Led lights? Do they include the back ups? I was thinking about getting them...

No they don't. You would still need the one in the bumper if you use these lights. |

We have backup lights? Is that what the little round white thing on the back left side of the bumper is? 'Cause if it is, it's pretty dang useless.

$500. for one and they have to put a hole in the bumper, that's a little scary. Or........$330 for both and husband can probably take care of that. But thanks for the info.  |

I belive that its for the set. Would be way too expensive if it was just for one. There is actually a perfect area for adding a backup light into the factorys, but it doesn't work as a backup light so well if it shines red.

Yea, I don't drive backwards most of the time either, but when backing out of a parking spot want people to know that I am coming out. Ya Know.?
What kills me is most of the time I park away where no one is. I come out of the store and I'm surrounded. Guess people just want to take a look at the nugget. LOL
evil, yes, you're right, took another look at the link, its for the set. My husband was wanting some european lights for his truck and they cost $300 per. Now that's expensive and he's still waiting.
