    Wondering this bc i am upgrading my 2008 with the newer tailgate handle that locks and has the back-up camera in it this kit also comes with the larger 7 inch display. I've noticed backing up at night with my current taillights can be challenging to see if my foot isn't on the brake. thanks

    I believe so yes. Are you thinking of the LED ones that come on the 09-11?

    All the 2nd gen tl's are interchangable as far as I know. You can also upgrade the backup bulb to something better. Search will find it.

    Yes, but wont be any brighter, reverse uses same technology, so ur better off trying an led bulb in your current housings.
    find 1 with a projector in the center and a full array around the housing of the bulb.
