Brighter Tacoma Backup Lighting

Replacing the factory incandescent reverse bulbs is a simple way to improve both the appearance and function of your Tacoma’s rear lighting.

Diode Dynamics backup LEDs provide cool white illumination for a cleaner, more modern appearance. Higher-output options can also increase the amount of usable light behind the vehicle when reversing at night.

Installation requires only a bulb swap on compatible 1156 applications, making this an easy lighting upgrade for your Tacoma.

Three Brightness Options

Choose the Diode Dynamics 1156 LED that best matches your desired performance.

HP48 – 250 Lumens

The HP48 uses 48 LEDs arranged in an omnidirectional configuration with a diffusing cover for smooth illumination and a clean appearance when the bulb is off.

• 48-LED omnidirectional design
• Diffusing cover
• Metal base connector
• Full-spec positive connection terminal
• 250 lumens per bulb
• Intended primarily as a cosmetic LED upgrade

HP11 – 310 Lumens

The HP11 steps up performance with four COB-style LEDs and a single high-power LED mounted at the top.

• Four COB-type LEDs
• High-power top-mounted LED
• Full-metal heatsinking
• Nonpolar electrical design
• CK-compatible design
• 310 lumens per bulb

XPR – 830 Lumens

For drivers looking for maximum output among the supplied options, the XPR delivers 830 lumens per bulb.

• 30 high-power LEDs
• Omnidirectional LED arrangement
• Metal heatsink
• Inductive constant-current drive circuit
• 830 lumens per bulb

The XPR is the performance-focused option for drivers looking to increase usable illumination behind the Tacoma.

Accurate Measured Output

Diode Dynamics rates its LED products using measured lumen output, rather than relying on calculated or theoretical figures.

This provides a meaningful comparison between the HP48, HP11, and XPR options when selecting the appropriate brightness level for your Tacoma.

Consistent Cool White Color

Diode Dynamics uses integrating-sphere testing to analyze the color spectrum of its LED bulbs.

Production batches are tested to help maintain consistent color, reducing mismatched shades of white between different lighting upgrades. This is particularly useful when combining these backup LEDs with other Diode Dynamics lighting products on your Tacoma.

Engineered for Reliability

Diode Dynamics LEDs incorporate constant-current inductive circuitry and transient suppression to help protect the bulbs against voltage fluctuations and electrical spikes.

The bulbs are tested using equipment designed to replicate years of automotive voltage spikes, including those generated during normal alternator operation.

Built-in circuit protection helps provide reliable long-term performance while reducing the risk of flickering or premature LED failure.
