i honestly do not know what 5% Tint is... my 07 SR5 is factory or distribution-point [usually southeast toyota in the USA??] tinted. Good tint too, btw.
with those LED's in the post, I see fine in the dark - my habit is to look in the sideview mirrors or crank down the driver glass and stick my head out, but that's just my idiosyncrasies, I don't find looking through the rear hatch window of any value.
Let me also mention Fireflyz - A vendor with stores on both Ebay and Amazon. I ran across these fellow Texans while trying and failing multiple times to get useful LED's for hatch & dome of my 07. MANY people just aren't honest about these and I was getting pretty short-tempered with vendors and wasting time sending their crappy product back to them, including these guys initially. They had some LED's that, like others, were ALMOST a fit but weren't, wasting my time again. But after some chat, the manager over there got a mftr to make some that are the right length, and pointy enough to set in the notches in our dome and hatch retainers. They work fabulous!
finally. So, they make up kits with a number of different application LED's specific to the 4th gen and other 4runners. Here are the kit number he sent me when I asked for NEW kit numbers that have the correct hatch/dome bulbs, and the others. I have not yet tried the running board etc lights.
