Led turn signals upgrade#

The purple wire is for the constant on amber parking light. On the Tundra the Pink/Red wires and the White with black stripe wire are the two you need to tap into to get it to work. As you all know every vehicle that needs resisters is a little different, but if you have a 2007 Tundra (and I believe newer models that don't already come with LED lights) the rear lights are easy because you just have two wires and plenty of room, but the front headlights have 3 wires because one is for the constant on parking lights and the other two are ground and for the turn signal.

I have several pictures showing what I did and where I mounted the resisters to put them in what I feel are safe spots and will hopefully not come in contact with anything that may melt or get too hot. I added over a foot for the rear tail lights and about 6 to 7 inches for the front headlights in addition to the leads that came already attached. When I got the resisters, I first noticed the the leads were pretty short and knew there was no way I could get these wired easily and then find a good piece of metal to mount the resister to without having to add extensions to the leads. I have read reviews saying you only need 1 resister per side, but I put a resister on each turn signal light to play it safe and hopefully have a successful installation.

I mainly did it for the front aftermarket headlights I purchased from another website and the halogen OEM bulbs would melt the housing for the constant on parking light lens area due to the heat it would put off so I upgraded to LED to hopefully eliminate the melting going forward on the new headlights I just bought (third set of headlights on my truck). Original Review: I have a 2007 Toyota Tundra that I wanted to change all the bulbs over to LED.

Led turn signals upgrade#

I really wanted to upgrade to LED because the brightness is much brighter with LED's and in my opinion safer from those behind you being able to see your turn signals that much better, but I've been driving with the OEM bulbs for 14 years so hopefully they will serve another 5 years at least. I still can't figure out why it worked fine after initially hooking them up and trying them and then the next day the hyper flash returned. It may be the bulbs used or something else, but who knows. When I had the led bulbs with the resisters removed on the rear lights the hyper flash was present (even though I had resisters installed on the front lights). Also, there was at least another reviewer that said you only need one resister per side and I tried that and it didn't work on my truck. I have the resisters still installed on the front turn signal lights with LED bulbs still in the front and hopefully those will continue to work because those were the bulbs I really wanted to change out based on the melting issue I mention below. Once I had the two incandescent/halogen bulbs back in the rear lights the hyper flash seems to have stopped.

I checked the connections and everything seemed to be connected as it should so I began to remove the resisters and return the rear lights back to incandescent/halogen and then after I did that on the passenger side first that side stopped the hyper flash, but it remained on the drivers side so I removed that led bulb and resister too from the rear driver side as well.

24 hour update after installation: I'm editing my review and dropping a star because after just 24 hours the hyper flash returned.
