I thought about upgrading the reverse lights for a while or putting in auxiliary ones because my visibility sucks at night. But I just skipped all that and did a backup camera. Much cleaner than cutting up the truck to install led pods and I know exactly what is behind me without even turning around.
i did the same thing haha

I bought this on EBAY from a seller in Japan, they replace the reflectors in the rear bumper and have turn signal style bulbs in them. The best thing is they look totally stock. They were pricey but were the only clear option available at the time.
Daytime pics don't do it justice, they are pretty bright! I can grab some night time shots if anyone cares.
UPDATE: night time shot added below
They are wired to the reverse lights in the tail light housing. I put in some very expensive LED bulbs from VLEDS.com. Before installation I applied hot glue around the inner seams to prevent any chance of leakage into the lenses. They've held up great for 6 years.
I believe similar year Land Cruisers and Hilux models in Japan have these from factory but they're red lenses.

Dude is still selling them after all these years
Here they are:
2006 2007 2008 TOYOTA JAPAN HILUX SURF 4RUNNER LED REAR FOG KIT JDM VIP | eBay
There's a note in the listing about shaving the one side of the opening,
I didn't have to do that.

Those are really nice!!
But man you weren't kidding when you said they were expensive...$306 with shipping.... I'll have to pass on them, one day I will get some motivation and make up a set, sure wished I had a 3D printer to make what I need to do them without having to make them custom by hand!!!

That's pretty COOL, care to elaborate on how you converted them?
The Mod I'm most interested in is how you got the lights to chirp like birds!!

Cheap Kawell brand work lights from Amazon mounted on the two plastic bumper tabs wired into a switch, right next to the anytime backup camera switch. Great for backing up and backing people off. A coworker has used these lights as fogs on his daily driver for over a year with no issues, I would recommend them.

well the mod was to convert the tail as turn signals and use the signal part as added reverse lights.
i used diodedynamics tail as turn module, a little bit of rewire. also have a switch inside so i dont need to always use the reverse gear.
also my reverse lights are all 15w hids, so i did make a relay harness. i have full control of the lights, turn it on to do anti tailgaters.
the video was taken at about 430 in the morning since its when i get off work.

You can get them for half the price from another seller, only difference being the less expensive pair uses standard incandescent bulbs and the ones in the above auction have LED bulbs...you can buy some very bright white or even white/yellow switchback bulbs for less than that $150 markup.
They're rear bumper light assemblies for the Toyota Landcruiser Prado 120 by the way.

Can you provide a link for everyone ? I bought these 6 years ago so I'm sure there's more options now.
The one I bought actually has 2 bulbs in each lense . I'm just using the main bulb for the reverse . I left the other bulb in there but not wired up . It can be used as additional tail/stop light or side marker or even Turn signals , just have to get the appropriate colored bulbs for the application .
