Integrated red backlight activates with your tail lights, giving your Tacoma a modern rear-end glow that sets it apart while increasing visibility.
✅ 4th Brake Light with Optional SafetyStrobe™
Get a powerful red brake signal synced to your OEM lights — plus an optional 3-flash SafetyStrobe™ function for added safety on initial brake tap.
✅ Tacoma-Specific Plug-and-Play Harness
Tailored for 2005–2015 Tacomas, this kit plugs right into your OEM wiring with no splicing or programming required.
✅ Quick-Install Snap Mount
