I Upgraded My Tundra Tail Lights!

[@dillon4903]

I'm down for a truck upgrade series

[@Nick-m2k6x]

Same

[@CodeManDew94]

You bet 👍

[@jakehomsher]

Same

[@allilane8924]

Agreed!

[@Tig-Wan]

It’s a resistor. LEDs draw so little current that when the car is running it thinks the bulb is out. That resistor tricks the car.

[@MaNNeRz91]

It's usually always for the indicators. Most bulb failure warnings are from continuity so still work with leds. Modern cars don't use a relay for the flashing like back in the day so you have to add a resistor instead of just replacing the relay

[@ab3rsur314]

Can some of you both maybe tell me which resistor I have to use for my Mitsubishi Lancer 140 PS, Gas powered? I wanna put my LED blinkers in the head lights.

[@MaNNeRz91]

@@ab3rsur314 I think it's between 5 and 7 ohm. I'll double check incase it's kohm's 😂 50w

[@ab3rsur314]

@@MaNNeRz91 yeah, because I really don't know where to put that resistor or relay in my head- and/or Backlights 😅

[@bluej511]

As an ASE master tech I approve this message. You're an auto tech, these videos should be gold. Congrats on the purchase Tyler.

[@Alpha-zulu-009]

I used to run a truck accessory shop - Keep the stock tail lights. You will need them when these fail next year :) When one light fails on these - you replace the entire tail light assembly... that will likely no longer exist.

[@ajl9491]

True led headlights wont even make one year

[@deathgrip41]

When I got my car brand new a couple years ago I replaced every single bulb with LEDs. Running lights, tag lights, turn signals, interior/cargo lights.. Within 3 months every single one failed or began to flicker. Even tried major brands like Philips and they quickly failed.

[@Vxtzy_]

@@ajl9491I have led headlights and they’ve made it over a year

[@bjørnjacobsengaming]

6:07 Hey Taylor actually gives a good tip and in the previous video he read the instructions for a product. Evolution is underway, folks.😁

[@anthonyguidas2012]

I think this is going to be a pretty cool series. Can’t wait for more.

[@ethanhoffman7438]

Upgrade videos would be awesome 🔥

[@joshgorillz]

I’d love to see a series of you modding the Tundra. It’s the little upgrades that matter, and the sequential signal looks great! Congrats on the new truck!

[@1EyeInTheSky]

As a Tundra owner myself I always love some Tundra based content.

[@chuckf6163]

The new turn signals and flashers almost has a "Plasma" effect from the cameras perspective. Looks great!!👍

[@Crantic]

0:33 Yes.

[@oculusdrifter9261]

the little black box that you fit behind the light unit is called a Canbus Error Canceller unit its used on LED's to tell the vehicle that you are running 5watts over the stock 35watts output voltage otherwise you get warning bulb out message on the dash cluster if not fit

[@JustMichiganDave]

One tip for the exterior bolts, replace them as soon as you can with similar galvanized ones. I didn't on my old truck and when I had to fix the light bulb in the brakes I pretty much had to bust the whole thing to break it open and get the bolts free. A real pain in the ass I wasn't expecting just to change one stupid bulb.

[@RydexTheWolf]

The resistor works for both taillights because there is a flasher relay under the dash, thats what makes the clicking noise, so in a way they are connected. They also make relays for LEDs so you wouldnt need the resisors.

[@thomasvalenti1753]

Lights look great! Congrats on the truck! I have a 2018 crewmax tundra. Love it! Doing the Headlights isn’t the worst in the world, but definitely way more than you’d ever think lmao but once they are done what a difference it makes! Me-So customs offers a lot of stuff as well as AJT designs. I’ve used both and love the quality. One of my favorite things I’ve done to my truck is installing seat jackers for the front seats! Gives a little extra tilt to the seats, and a little extra support under your knees. Can’t wait to see some more man!

[@lukegrace7599]

Definitely down for a pimp Tyler's truck series

[@bwc1976]

Congratulations on your new truck, and staying in the Toyota family for 3 vehicles in a row! Definitely looking forward to seeing more truck content.

[@UltimatelyEverything]

A car upgrade series sounds like a great idea it also brings a but more variety of content for people who like other things.

[@IvanPaz-wy6ht]

Yes do more upgrades this would be a really good series

[@beebop5536]

I like the truck video. I did my tail lights last week. Your mom helped to wire up my third brake light :)

[@tonybaran1860]

Truck upgrade segment sounds good 👍

[@carbontube7956]

Hey,I like this format.

[@jetlifesr6437]

Yes sir we need more videos of this truck Tyler

[@quakerdudeperson]

Congratulations on the new truck, you deserve it, thank you for your years of videos

[@KeijiSuwa]

Great choice on a 2nd gen Tundra! My dad had a 2012 and currently has a 2020 TRD Pro Tundra. He does all of his own maintenance and has never had any major issues with either of them. The alternator on the 5.7 engine is hard to reach though, so if you ever need to replace the alternator it's not fun, but besides that you will love the Tundra. Don't ever buy the twin-turbo V6 model though because the engines on those are garbage.

[@abhishekmane4555]

This truck series will be awesome you May test various accessories realated to trucks good work ❤

[@goodfellamoto5787]

Congrats on the new truck! Looking forward to more upgrades with it

[@Mr_Amurican]

This video was a nice change of pace! Look forward to the headlights.

[@ghostish365]

i would love a truck upgrade series, i just got myself a Taco so it would have been cool to see you do this with yours but a tundra works too i suppose

[@natalyabaich4006]

Congratulations on your new truck!

[@TheBcartman123]

We all just enjoy watching you struggle you could literally do whatever and we will all watch it

Keep the truck upgrades coming 👍👍

[@everydaybladesinc]

Definitely make a series fixing your truck up. That will be cool.

[@zacharyburgin4193]

Id love a truck series most of my KZbin channel I watch are car / truck channels your channel is the only one that isn’t

[@matthewchase6744]

Old people will love these lights and series they cant see either to drive.

[@COINAGE656]

im down for the series too bro. was great to see a vid from you mid week....keep em coming

[@corysavage609]

Hey Tyler, How are you doing today? I am doing pretty good myself. I would love to see a lot more truck upgrades on your KZbin second channel. I hope that you take care until next time!

[@damiensurface748]

Yes upgrade series

[@carlos-luisluna5828]

That’d be awesome to see more of these. 👍🏼 What brand are the lights from?

[@justinwhitsitt7072]

Last month I got me a New to me 2015 Tacoma. But……It’s a 5 speed manual and I absolutely love it. Nothing like driving a manual and it’s the nicest truck I have ever owned

Glad you were still able to find a manual, they're getting rarer and that's sad.

[@keithdosik]

I am totally down for a truck upgrade series

[@PaintsvilleKentuckyPolice]

8:18 RIP to that bug

[@nutsofrantic123]

Hope someone explains that tail light thing. Why adding it to one side fixed the issue.

[@HA05GER]

It'll be on loop so one side will be enough to trick the system.

[@KenMagee]

The resistor is needed to make the computer think there is an incandescent bulb in it based on power draw. Put in both, and when you change out the headlights, they may come with them installed already or you may need to install them for the fronts as well.

[@robertreinhold6720]

You should get the factory led headlights. Its hard to beat oem in terms of reliability and you can still use the factory beam adjuster thats on the dash.

[@RealtorThomaspreciado]

Would love more of this

[@cptnnugget]

Make this a series!!!

[@ifGarage]

If you had the roll down rear glass it would be much easier to swap out that 3rd brake light. You can just slide in and slide out as needed. With that mini sliding glass I’m sure you had to get out of the bed and into the back seat a few times

[@Clubrhythm]

What does it look like when both the hazard lights and the brake pedal is pressed? I really like the modern design of the lights but I wish there were separate elements for the turn signal and tail/brake lights.

[@gadgetsense3981]

So, check your cruise control now. See if it will stay on. Just curious. I tracked down my cc issue to a newly installed LED third brake light. Even with a resistor in line. 2003 Silverado.

[@littledebbie5254]

Little Debbie would love a truck upgrade series Tyler 0:31

[@dashaybraden-gamble4351]

Definitely should do more of these

[@huntershortrepairs]

Awesome video, man! I've been doing the same to my Jeep here and there since I got it. A lot of my lights I got for free from Amazon since I do reviews for them, I still need to do my front turn signals, and i need to do the dome lights since one is already blown, lol.

[@smokey5129]

I recommend putting led pods in the bumper if you pull trailers a lot. I turn them on and see everything that I'm doing with the trailer best purchase and mod if I ever made.

[@j.k.7807]

Tyler, why didn't you use the new bed lights to light your install of the taillights?

[@thecarolinaenderman2550]

Tyler could you please put a link to the lights you bought, I’d love to add these to my tundra as well

[@andrewstuart9807]

I would like to know what brand those tail lights are, and if they would fit my 2014 Tundra.

[@sisforslow2198]

More tundra vids! I got a '14 model, i feel the pain of those lights.

[@samkamps3]

The 4 way flashers flash at the same speed without the resistor. If you turned the right signal on without the resistor it would have blinked faster.

[@androjeff]

I love my 2nd gen Tundra. So I'd love upgrade videos lol

[@TravisL.Desmadreson]

Definitely do a mod series

[@michaelsturgill666]

Keep the truck series going

[@MarkFlinders-f9p]

Truck upgrades are always wanted bring them on

[@dan_disorder]

Great viewing dude, keep 'em coming 🤙

[@nathanmaxwell1142]

Be careful with the aftermarket third brake lights, they don't always have a great seal and can make a water leak in your headliner. Headliners are expensive 😅

[@bloosher03]

Id love to see a truck upgrade series, and you do need those load resistors, LEDs draw less power than halogen, therefore the truck thinks the bulbs out and so it hyperflashes, and I completely agree with you with what you said at the beginning of the video about how it's a 2018 and still using halogen, makes zero sense of why still a lot of car companies are using halogen bulbs

[@jadyncricket9848]

I've never been into this content, but this was quite interesting!

[@Trckstr971]

I don’t remember what it’s called but that black box basically tricks your cars ecu into thinking that your lights are pulling the correct amount of wattage from your battery, since leds use less energy than halogens, so that it doesn’t throw a cel or similar warning signal telling you your break lights or head light are out. I thought most led conversions now a days built it into the housing for the bulb itself but I guess not

[@nathanbrinkerhoff5886]

Depends on how it's made.

[@dmoney937dyt]

I have a 2010 where i kept factory lights but changed every single bulb in everything to led and even switchbacks in the front and i found real quick that i needed resistors in turn signals. Warning if you plan to replace the speakers the door panels are a true pain in the ass cause you will break and have to replace every clip and you will need adapters to fit aftermarket speakers to the doors and wires.

[@michaelross1544]

The resistor is for when the trucks headlights are on. The rear running lights and the turn signal use the same "bulbs." So that's why you couldn't duplicate the issue until you turned the truck and headlights on. But it worked fine without the headlights on and truck running.

[@BulwarkTyr]

That was good mate keep it coming.

[@zorkblat3858]

I am so here for this.

[@thesaexplorer]

Great video! I have a 2022 toyota tacoma and the front lights aren't bright (I think they're just halogens which is a weird choice for the year). It's definitely not bright enough so I want to switch to LEDs. Can't wait for your next video!

[@stevenroyer8731]

I knew exactly what you were gonna say when you started talking about the 3rd brake light. Im a painter and i can tell you Ford is the exact same way. Its no extra to me bec we completely break down the entire truck when we spray anyway

[@Jeroen_a]

The reverse lights seem an afterthought on most new cars these days (in Europe even 1 reverse light is enough)... They used to be so you could look backwards better. But on newer cars it just seems a small light to indicate you are reversing.

[@dustinbergeron7508]

A video where Tyler isn’t confused is not a video
