05 Tacoma DC tow package - R indicator light for trailer?
So I towed my trailer for the first time today with my 05 DC taco. It does have the factory tow package, and I noticed something. The reverse indicator light flashes or illuminates based on what the trailer lights are doing. It only does it when the trailer is plugged in. I was curious if this was factory, or if I have an electrical gremlin I need to go looking for.
For instance. If I have the parking lights on the R on the dash will lightly illuminate. If I hit the brakes, the R will brightly illuminate. If the turn signals are on, the R will flash in unison with the turn signals....
Anyone have any experience with this?

the person that last borrowed my trailer apparently needed a better ground, so instead of fixing the current ground, they wired the trailer end of the reverse lights to the ground...
