    There are times when I don't want to be more visible, lol.

    But also, when you're crawling along in a group of a dozen vehicles, only the front vehicle needs its lights on. The rest are just bright lights in my mirror.

    Depends on the situation. If it's dusty, everyone needs their lights on.

    Good point. It's more about the taillights than anything. Otherwise, it's too easy to lose track of the vehicle in front of you.

    But, I drive around all the time with multiple vehicles behind me, and the headlights have never bothered me.

    On a trail ride last year, I had to ask the guy in the Quicksand Taco in front of me to turn his lights on, he disappeared in the dust and I couldn't see him in front of me. That was when I realized the importance of a chase light.

    No.

    It doesn’t have recovery points, and ARB does not make recovery points for the 4Runner.

    I have not seen anyone else that makes ones confirmed to fit.

    Same here. I've driven enough miles on gravel to know I prefer lights over no lights.

    And I'm usually running solo, so I guess I notice lights behind me and they bug me more. I do run with my lights on, especially on curvy forest roads.

    I understand how vehicles in front of you can kick up enough dust to affect visibility, but I don't do those kind of trips unless I'm in front, lol.
