It's in the belief that you would drive with the tailgate open in which case the spare wheel obstructs the side lights.

Never seen a 90 series with a tailgate - mores the pity .
Thats why bumper lights had to be added , it still seems a bit cheapskate of Toyota to me though to recover the cost by not wiring up the body lights . These were expensive trucks when new .My jap market prado has lights in the wings, its a right scary experience if you are parked up at night or on hazard lights with the rear door open, the spare obstructs one set of lights, and I obstruct the other, so vehicles approaching dont get the warning they should. I now carry an amber strobe for the roof if I am working at the back of the truck.
Fitted the new body tail lights but still nothing works accept one reverse light . I'm guessing the main loom is disconnected somewhere else , maybe in the fuse box . I'm tempted to just run wires from the bumper lights up to the body mounted lights so they get power that way but i will have to investigate more .
