    I mounted one of these under the rear bumper and wired it into the reverse light wire. Works splendidly.

    Old man emu rear springs and shocks, front coilovers and upper control arms, 31” mud terrains, arb front bumper, light bar, 5000lb winch with center console switch, center console, 2-3” suspension lift, 98 prerunner rear end with 4.10 gears and elocker, front locking hubs, b&m short shifter with weighted shift knobs, energy suspension polyurethane body mounts all around, 7 spoke polished 15” rims, led oem color dash lights, led ash tray light, led glove box light, tire pressure and temperature sensors, spare 3.4 v6 motor and 5spd manual trans and transfer case, led headlights, diesel leds reverse lights fitted into stock taillights, black toolbox, extended cab, black factory paint.
    So I know it’s two years after the last post…BUT I would like to add my input. I have a 97 Tacoma, and although superbrightleds.com and vleds.com are very good and reputable websites for leds, as far as reverse lights go…DIESELLEDS.COM!!!!!! They make the brightest plug n play reverse lights on the market for EVERY truck ever made just about!! I have a set in my 97 Tacoma, got a set for my brothers round eye Silverado (2003 I think?), my dads 2015 Silverado, and my brothers 2015 duramax. ALL of them are extremely pleased with the results and they are ridiculously brighter than stock. I’m talking about going from stock barely able to see anything to lighting up the whole cul-de-sac not having to roll down tinted windows just from these plug n play bulbs in the stock taillight housings. I’m telling you guys. DIESELLEDS.COM! DIESELLEDS.COM! DIESELLEDS.COM! That being said with my first car I went through sooo many brands and websites of leds that ended up flickering or going out or being crap out the box, so I know for a fact vleds.com and superbrightleds.com (especially vleds) are solid choices that have lasted me almost 10 years so far with literally zero issues. So much so I took the dome leds out of my first car when it got totalled and put them in my Tacoma and they still work flawlessly. But dieselleds.com literally advertises brightest backup lights on the market and I have yet to have any issues with them 5 years in so far and have yet to find anything better much less easier!! (And now they make an even brighter version!). So if you want advice from a guy who’s spent and waisted the money through trial and error To figure out which are the brightest and most reliable, refer to this post drive safe my fellow taco drivers ————-1997 3.4v6 5spd 4wd extended cab Tacoma with manual front locking hubs and 98 prerunner rear end with 4.10 rear gear and elocker. B&m short shifter assembly, Arb front bumper, winch, 31x10.5 Yokohama mud terrains, 15” 7 spoke polished rims with 3” lift (OME rear leaf springs and matching shocks, sway away nitrogen filled adjustable front coilovers, tubular front upper control arms with built in downward facing ball joints for better articulation/suspension geometry with grease-able polyurethane bushings, polyurethane energy suspension body mounts all around…with 333,785 miles daily driver
