Lightbulb Toyota FJ Cruiser Reverse/Backup LED Bulbs! See Install Video & Comparison Photos!



Toyota FJ Cruiser Reverse Light LED



Diode Dynamics carries a full line of LED bulbs replacements for your Toyota FJ Cruiser's reverse light or backup light bulb (921 size). Diode Dynamics offers the brightest, highest-quality LED replacements on the market. Designed in-house by our engineering team in St. Louis, Missouri.

Diode Dynamics products are backed with a three-year limited warranty.

Your purchase includes two Diode Dynamics' 921-sized LED bulb replacements, for perfect fitment in all Toyota FJ Cruiser Model years.



Bulb Design

HP5: Four high-power SMDs, under a diffusing lens. Just like our HP3, but run at higher power, with integrated copper plating for superior heat dissipation, allowing maximum brightness.

HP36: Full 360 degree illumination with 36 High-Power Samsung LEDs. Aluminum base for optimum heatsinking, and non-polar design for easy installation.

XP50: Each of the four sides of this bulb contains two 5W-rated chips, and the top is fitted with two more under a projector lens. Housed in an aluminum casing with textured finish for maximum heatsinking properties.

Fitment. Diode Dynamics LED bulbs use a quality inject-molded 921 terminal, with a sturdy base connector and proper pin alignment, designed for exact replacement of your FJ Cruiser's factory 921 incandescent bulbs. You will not need resistors for backup lights. Just replace your FJ's factory bulb.

Included in your order is TWO Diode Dynamics' LED BULBS.


COLOR

These LEDs illuminate in a crisp, cool, bright, white hue for maximum light output.

BRIGHTNESS

Diode Dynamics offers several bulb model options so you can choose what fits you best. These options are listed by the design and the lumen output of each bulb:

HP5: (92 lumens) Slightly lower brightness than OEM bulbs, but still provides the crisp, modern instant on/off of LED technology.
HP36: (210 lumens) Slightly higher brightness than OEM bulbs.
XP50: (410 lumens) Much brighter than OEM bulbs. These are bright!

Lumens. BUYER BEWARE! Most sellers just provide "calculated" lumen numbers, based on the maximum potential brightness of the LED chips on the bulb. For example, if a bulb has five 10-lumen chips, they will rate it at 50 lumens. However, this is not accurate, as the design of an LED bulb does not get rid of heat fast enough to run the LEDs at maximum.

These "calculated" lumen ratings are much, much higher than the true, measured light output, so it will look like competitors' bulbs are brighter than ours. This is because Diode Dynamics does not provide inflated "calculated" numbers; we believe it is misleading. We test the actual brightness of the bulbs in our lab, to provide real lumen output measurements. Our measurements are accurate, but they are usually much lower than the misleading "calculated" figures.





QUALITY

LED Components. Diode Dynamics uses only the highest quality LED chips in the production of its bulbs. This means only brand-name suppliers such as Epistar, Cree, Osram, and Samsung.

While Diode Dynamics bulbs may look the same as others on the market, most copycat bulbs use economy-grade LED chips in order to reduce costs. This greatly reduces the reliability and overall brightness of the bulb when you compare it to Diode Dynamics.

Construction. Although LED technology allows for extremely long bulb life, the market is flooded with cheap LED bulbs that fail prematurely due to inferior construction. The worst enemy of LEDs is excessive heat, and when bulbs are not designed properly, they do not disperse heat as well, leading to premature failure.

Off-brand, cheap bulbs exhibit poor solder uniformity, high levels of flux in the solder, uneven chip placement, low-gauge terminal wires, poor assembly, and bulbs held together with inferior adhesives. At best, solder joints will crack and fail on low-quality LEDs after a few weeks of use. In the worst case, these bulbs can damage housings as the extra flux and adhesive evaporates and creates a residue on the lens of the housing.

Diode Dynamics bulbs are produced with modern, computerized equipment, and only the best materials, to ensure complete uniformity, high quality, and long bulb life.

Diode Dynamics products come with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee and a 3-year limited replacement warranty.

Customer Reviews:



"Installed stage three (XP50) in stock light receptacle. Even with the high cost of these bulbs, they saved me a lot of money by not needing to install additional lighting on the rear of my FJ. I have seen numerous LED bulbs in the past and these are the highest quality I have seen. I have had for nine months now with no issues whatsoever. (Posted on 9/22/14)" -Jrope

"These bulbs were the first LED's I purchased from Diode Dynamics. I went with the modest HP36 and am extremely happy with them. If LED's are what you are looking for, you cannot go wrong with Diode Dynamics. (Posted on 1/25/15)" -Daniel
