Nice install! Very clean switch. I did this on my 2011 FX4 when I still had it. A good mod indeed!

Here is another great writeup one of our customers did on TacomaWorld. Not the same truck but it's always good to have a second reference.

Sorry, no pic of just the switch body. I ordered the switch and body together and they came snapped together. It did come with a tool to separate them...

Thanks,

Do you happen to have a picture of the output of the diffused lights at night?

Do you have a backup camera?

I do not have a night pic, but I'll try to take one when the weather clears up a bit. However, they look like headlights. I could drive with them.

I do have a backup camera, display in the rearview mirror. The lights do NOT in any way overpower the camera, perhaps because they are under the truck. The combination works great, and I think it is a much safer setup than the stock reverse lights.

Here's a pic of the backup camera in the rearview mirror. The trees on the left and right are about 25-30' away:

I installed a pair of Ridged D2's(Flood). I think the are a little over bearing on the backup camera. But maybe I need to angle them up more, only thing is they already shine up into the bumper. I think I might switch to the defused set.
