    "Two extra lights". Light back-facing ditch lights, or some other form?

    This kind of puts me in a position of considering replacement taillights. People have their favorite brands, for several reasons. Smoked covers or not, LED full-assembly or just replace the bulbs in the existing assembly with LED (Diode Dynamics, maybe?). What is your suggestion for fixing since I am basically "there"?

    This is normal. They will burn brighter while they get worn in. Give it three to five weeks and they will level out. It's in the owners manual. If only people would read it. TGIF Brothers

    Leave it as-is. Only one reverse light is required to be street legal. Some cheap Toyotas (Scions) have only one reverse light from the factory - the other lamp has a dummy reflector with no bulb.

    I picked up the bulbs at O'Reilly, not that AZ would give me a ticket ... dozens drive at night with no lights at all and are not stopped.

    But ... which if any of these other options is better/best?

    DiodeDynamics LED bulbs to replace the standard bulbs
    VLed taillight assembly
    Meso Custom V6 or standard taillight assembly
    Morimoto LED taillight assrmbly

    No dingos here. Coyotes, maybe. Javalinas are hungry hog-like things ... maybe.
