Looks clean. How much brighter than stock? I imagine quite a bit.

 

I was having problems seeing the edge of my driveway at night in the reverse monitor backing up using the stock bulbs but can easily see it now.. That’s all I was really looking for. I’m sure it looks brighter at night when I’m pulling out of a parking space, also.

 

Night & Day difference, especially at night. I used these off Amazon. AUXITO 1600 Lumens Extremely Bright 921 912 LED Backup Reverse Light Bulbs High Power 2835 15-SMD Error Free T15 906 W16W for Back Up Lights Reverse Lights, 6000K White, Pack of 2, Back Up Light Assemblies - Amazon Canada

 

I wish they would have left the chrome pieces around the red reflectors on the bumper

 

I personally like the dark graphite look.

 

Just did the updates on my wife's New 21 Highlander Hybrid FWD, no issues at all. Thanks

 

Anyone had any issues since replacing the bulbs with LEDs?

 

A shout out to Pimpin-it. Your tutorial was fantastic on replacing the bulbs, and everything went flawlessly. I even changed out the door lights for ghost logo lights and it went perfect.
Thank you so much. You saved me so much heartburn.

 

You’re welcome. That’s why I do them to help others.

I’ve had mine installed now since this diy was created and no issues.

 

Yes, Thanks for the great write up. I have done similar LED upgrades on my past 3 or 4 cars and it's well worth it.

 

Finally got around to replacing the backup lights and front parking lights. They seem a little brighter, can't tell in the day light. Sorry, I don't have a before or after pic. I went with these. $9 for 10 of the 194 LEDs and $17 for the backup LEDS. Inserted 3/4 bulbs correctly on the first try.

I’ve used Alla before and they been decent bulbs.

 

Amazing instructions Pimpin, Thank You! I used a pair of Sirius LED 921 6500k bulbs from Amazon. It lights up my reverse path much better than the stock, making it so much safer to back out in the dark. It was a fun and easy project, taking only 10 minutes.

I'd just like to add for your step 2 to first remove the wire plug from the bulb base, making the twisting of the bulb much more accessible. I found it tricky to twist the bulb as I couldn't grip it enough before the sharp metal body got in the way. So I used a pair of pliers wrapped in tape to gently twist the bulb assembly out. It only takes about a quarter turn counterclockwise for the assembly to release.

Updated the post, thanks for the TIP!

 

Thanks for the post! 🙏 👍
I installed mine today!
I’ll post the after pics(sorry no before pics).

 

Dropped in some Alla lights, definitely helps for reversing at night. Including some photos on how the plastic cover clips in to help others in getting it off.

 

If yall dont mind, do you think one of these will fit? Amazon claims it does, but also claims others that CLEARLY would work won't. Looking at the pictures it looks liket he heatsink would be too big but wondered if I just am not seeing correctly

 

Hopefully the cyan part is squishy enough to fit into the housing, and short enough to fit at an angle.

I personally wouldn't reinvent the wheel and going for max brightness that may flush out the screen image at night.

 

Anyone done this on a 2022? Not sure if I have LED's in there already or not? Thank you! Great write-up.

 

Yes, I have a '22 limited hybrid. The bulbs are incandescent and this write up is still valid for the '22.

 

I did on my 2022 Platinum and it makes a big difference. Changed all the lights to LED's and very happy with the result. The turn signals are WAY brighter too.

 

On your 2022 Platinum did you buy a kit to do all of them? Inside and outside the car?

 

Thanks for this post!
