4Runner LED Reverse Light - Philips 921 Review

Philips 12789LPB2 921 LED back up light review for Toyota 4Runner 5th Generation

I would not buy if you are looking for brightness and safety. Philips bulbs are dimmer than stock incandescent bulbs which I did not expect. They are bright and glaring to look at directly but the flood pattern is too small and dim.

The 921 LED bulbs do look much nicer and luckily the brake LED lights are bright enough so you can see what is behind you at night while reversing. I don't see any positives other than looks and longer life.

Also, it's a tight fit so you must push hard to insert the bulbs.

I will return the bulbs and reinstall my stock incandescent until I find brighter LEDs.

DIY: Infiniti QX4 Reverse Light Bulbs

How to replace reverse light bulbs on an Infiniti QX4

Access to the reverse light bulbs is not direct on the QX4. You must remove the back lift gate panel for access.

• Locate the rear lift gate handle and pop open the two small panels on each side with a small flat tip screwdriver.

 

•  Remove the two 10mm bolts that secure the handle to the lift gate.

 

• Carefully pry the plastic panel away from the lift gate. I highly recommend using KINGLAKE® Portable 4Pcs Auto Car Radio Door Clip Panel Trim Dash Audio Removal Installer Pry Tool 

• Removing the panel can be done without any tools, just work very slowly and make sure you do not break any of the plastic pieces. This may be unavoidable as the plastic prongs may be brittle after many years.  
Pry the panel so you have enough clearance to access the bulbs. I did not completely remove panel. 

 

•  Locate the right and left bulb sockets. Twist counter-clockwise and pull the socket and bulb out. Space and wiring is very tight so it may take a lot of wiggling to get the socket out. 

• Removing the wires from the plug may be helpful. Trace the wire from the socket to the plug and un-clip.

 

• Install new reverse bulbs. I used Cutequeen LED Car Lights Bulb White T15 1206 68-SMD 906 579 901 904 908 909 912 914 915 916 917 918 920 921 922 923 926 927 928 939 (pack of 2). I went with LED bulbs because OEM is too dim at night. The difference in light and range with the Cutequeen LED bulbs is amazing.

• Installation is the reverse of removal. 
• Reinstall the bulb sockets 
• Clip the wire plug back in if removed. 
• Press the plastic panel back into the lift gate
• Install lift gate handle

 Notes:

• Use Permatex 22058 Dielectric Tune-Up Grease, 3 oz. Tube to prevent corrosion on the bulb socket. 
• Wear gloves when handling the bulbs.
