    $9/each. They put out 860 lumens, vs standard hardware store 35w gy6.35 that put out 420 lumens.

    I think somebody figured out that is the wiring for heated seats. The problem though is that to buy all the heated seat components from Toyota is a LOT of money. It's much, much, much cheaper to buy an aftermarket heated seat kit.

    Hook up a relay. NC to reverse light switch source. Common to reverse lights. NO to +12V. Energize the relay coil with a switch on the dash. Ground the other side of the relay coil.
