Cheap, but effective LED backup lights?

Red hot
White negative.

 

To prevent rust..I primed and painted backside of bumper and the cut out/drill holes.
May want to do that while waiting for the wire to come?

What lights did you get? Post pictures when you can.

 

Can you provide a link to the wire that you bought?

 

L

of course! And I already did some touch up on the backside of the bumper to present it for sure. Used some high heat matte black I had laying around the house. And I just got the cheepo nilight ones off Amazon for 21.99

can't really give you an exact quote as it is considered an add on item on Amazon, I spend over 25 bucks and you get these add on items and I got two spools of 25ft for 3.99.

 

Here you go. Template and all. Planning to do this myself. Just haven't found the time. http://www.diymodifiedtacoma.com/rear-bumper-light-pods

 

Yup

Careful now!

 

Ehh installation wasn't THAT hard

 

Basically what i'm using on the back of my 2016. 2x 6inch single row mounted on the holes that join the pieces of bumper together(hangs just under the bumper). I wouldn't say they are headlight bright, but not far off....and for $18/pair shipped, they work awesome.

 

Other than heavy offroading.. Below bumper works fine too.


Flush style lights have a lip all the way around. Lots of room for error installing these..then the 4 or 6 screw holes per light is what makes them sit "square"

 

Do you guys know about a direct swap of leds for the stock 921 sockets? I bought the lights in this pic but they keep coming on and off. when i plug the stock lights in and then swap it they work fine for about the first 3 back ups then they start acting up. also, if i use 1 stock light and 1 led it works fine. any idea of what the hell is going on?

 

that doesnt work on the 16 tacos. theres not enough space to add them into the bumper

 

here is what i did. got a Amazon special off road light for $12 and fab'd up my onw bracket to use with the preexisting holes in the end of the bed

 

My bad I dint see the member owns a 2016.. i wouldn't have replied at all..

haha just joking..
So seriously the 2016 doesn't have enough room for even small flush mount reverse lights!? What's it stuffed with crash bar ?

 

lmao its all good. yea its too tight! i wanted to do flush mounts on mine but i measured and it would stick out by 2 inches+
