R&F Auto's license plate light for 2016–2022 Tacoma delivers bright 6000K diamond-white illumination in a direct-fit, plug-and-play replacement that stays street-legal.

Upgrade your Toyota Tacoma's rear lighting with a purpose-built lamp designed to match OEM fitment while improving clarity and longevity.

It’s engineered for daily driving and harsh conditions with IP67 dust and water protection.

Will this light fit my 3rd‑generation Tacoma or Tundra?

Yes — the lamp is a direct replacement for the license plate light aperture on 3rd‑gen Tacomas (2016–2022) and select Tundra models (2014–2021). It matches the OEM mounting and electrical connector so no cutting or splicing is required.

• Compatible models: 2016–2022 Toyota Tacoma (3rd gen) and 2014–2021 Toyota Tundra.

• Form-factor: direct-fit housing and factory-style connector.
• Street-legal and SAE/DOT approved for license plate application.

How bright and what color is the LED output?

The lamp produces a crisp diamond-white light at 6000K using 3528 SMD LED chips, providing high contrast for improved plate visibility without harsh blue tint. With a rated 90 lumens per watt efficiency and optimized optics, the output is noticeably brighter and whiter than many stock incandescent bulbs.

Will it trigger an error on modern Toyota CAN-bus systems?
