Bumper reflector swap to Back-up Lights

[TidalVA]

Would love to know if anyone has attempted this swap using the Rigid S-RQ Pro diffused Back-up lights before I start cutting. This has the making of a clean mount location, and the added light output should be a game changer on the factory rear bumper. Appreciate any feedback or ideas. Thanks

Switch from a 3rd Gen 4Runner I’ll try and use

Not in the same location but I had a 3-way Contour switch wired so that I have On/On w/reverse/Off as options...

That seems like a good idea, my back up lights are weak even though I switched to an LED (confident the rear tint doesnt help). Seems like some minor modes with a dremel or soldering iron to make it fit--good luck and cant wait to see the outcome!

Do you wheel yours? That bumper takes some hits as it hangs pretty low. I'd make sure you beef up the backing for the bolts.

Good luck!

I’ve done it on two of my Hundys.

Most bestest daughter’s B Day gift 🤣

I drove my daughter to kindergarten in our 2000 LX. She is now still driving it in her jr. year in college. For her 21st birthday today, I smoked her mother’s gift to her, a booger head kitten, with some jam up reverse LEDs like on my ‘99 LC.

This thread is when I installed the lights on the second hundy. Works great.

Finally getting these lights installed. My Toyota light switch (photo above) isn’t compatible. Can someone recommend an aftermarket switch that fits seamlessly in the panel left of the steering wheel, please?

The Hella Valuefit flush mount lights fit in the reflector locations nicely. Definitely a good gain in output.
