LED Rear Turn Signal Hyper Flash Fix on 2016-2019 Tacoma - H11 LED Headlight Giveaway

In this video, we install rear turn signals and brake light bulbs that will work for a 2016-2019 Toyota Tacoma. We also install a resistor to fix the hyper flash issue that is caused when the headlights are on and using the rear LED turn signals.
We also show how to connect a resistor to the rear turn signal wires and where to mount the resistor.

Dude literally nobody goes into as much detail as you do in your videos and it’s very much appreciated!

[@Runnin4Tacos]

17cementpro thanks man we try our best

[@galenledbetter8014]

I installed today and WOW, what a transformation. I did not add the resistors to the front turns and am not experiencing any hyper flashing. Great MOD and thx again!

[@JohnDavis20045]

Great video, it helped me a lot! I have a factory built 2008 Toyota Tacoma and I recently replaced my headlights with LED bulbs. I was getting the hyper-flashing across both front and rear turn signals. After purchasing LED Load Resistors from Napa Auto Parts and watching your video, the hyper-flashing was fixed to a normal flash. (I thought I was going to need to add resistors to all four corners of turn signals, but I only ended up having to add them to the rear (non LED bulbs; but it corrected the front LED bulbs as well). Thanks again!

[@vladymier3162]

Firstly, I love this channel and it has helped me a lot throughout the years. I wanted to add something that I think might be helpful to some. I followed these instructions to the letter tonight.....but was still getting the hyper-flash. I found that I had to bridge the white/black wire WITH the yellow wire on the driver side and the white/black WITH the blue on the passenger side. The blue and the yellow wires are the ones you're supposed to ignore, per the video. Ones I switched the wires, no more hyper-flash. It may just be my model (2017 Sport), but I thought this might help some that would be scratching their heads when the resistors didn't work. (if someone already pointed this out, I apologize). Thanks for the content, this channel is a must for any Tacoma owner!

[@robertboydston3787]

Vladymier316 I have exactly what you are talking about. Followed this video to a T and still have hyperflash, but only when the lights are on. Lights off, no issues. What do you mean, "bridge" the wires together...?

[@vladymier3162]

@@robertboydston3787 I shouldn't have said "bridge", I meant splice them together. Basically, splice the white/black wire to the yellow wire on the driver side and splice the white/black wire with the blue wire on the passenger side. The ones they say to ignore in the video are the exact ones you're supposed to use. Hopefully that clears it up a little?

[@TheSecksBot]

Can confirm this was the issue. Its might be only for 2017s. I had this exact issue. No hyper flash unless lowbeams are on. Change where the resistor clips connect based on this comment and it fixed it. I have a 2017 sr5. Thank you for commenting this on the video! saved me from having to google it and possibly not finding a solution.

[@ryancolleran245]

LED upgrades looks so good!

[@cpsmonroe1]

Hey noticed at :35 you say you to remove both of those lower 10mm bolts. Only need to remove the lower one of those 2 . The other isn’t attached to the tail light assy. So to clarify, remove one bolt at the top and one at the bottom, leave the middle alone.

Thanks for the video, bought led bulbs for my tacoma tail lights which did not have any instructions on how to wire them. I used a meter and thought i had the right wire, apparently not. The company i bought them from still has not called me, my first call to them was almost two weeks ago. Thanks again.

I installed the JDM bulbs with suggested resistors (front/rear turn & stop) back in Feb. No issues until driving home tonight. With headlights on I’m experiencing hyper flash. Any thoughts?

[@jacobweigand7234]

Do i only need resistors on the back or in the front if I install LEDs there too?

[@brentpaul238]

Any issues caused by heat from the resistor? I noticed where you mounted it. I don’t believe that to be metal, but a hard plastic.

Im lost, im sorry i might have missed it, but did u show where the tail lights are hyper flashing? Or just went wit the resistors just in case they did hyperflash?

[@igloo211]

Hi there great video! Question, I just purchased the same LED's and I bought two resisters for the rear blinkers. Do I need resisters for the front as well, judging by your video it doesn't look like I do? Thanks!

[@igloo211]

@Project Car Junkie yea you will need resisters

[@dronepilotbob469]

Did you have to use Resistors on Front Blinkers also ??

[@danwilk]

Would this work on 2017 Tacoma SR5? Mine has the amber DRLs.

[@galenledbetter8014]

Do the JDM 1260’s fit the front turn conversion?

[@stankatz01]

Did you have to put a resistor on the front as well as the rear?

[@CaptEricS]

2001 C5 Corvette. i replaced the front bulbs with LED's because the heat was melting the housings. After replacing all four rear 3056's w/ LED's, I got hyperflash. I installed the relay and all is well except... When the tail lights are on the brake lights work fine, yet when I use the turn signals the rears light up but don't flash and the fronts do!?? Ideas?

[@Damageincorpor8d]

Thanks a lot and this is such a good video I’m going to be sure to subscribe! But I’m curious, if I am just looking to replace my high and low beams only on my 2019 Tacoma, will I still need a resistor? Also if that is the case, do you have a video that shows you how to install a resistor on the headlights?

[@holafuckyou]

I upgraded my lowbeams for my 16 tacoma a few years ago been meaning to get around to high beams but I don't use highs nearly enough to spend money on them right now. Either way to answer your question NO at least I didn't have to for the low beams I'd assume the same would go for the highs. I believe resistors are only needed when diving into led turn signals but for just the headlights I haven't has any issues for the past 2 years. BTW the led headlights I bought were auxbeam h11s from amazon.

[@albertlibricz1819]

I try to do this about a year ago and my truck when in to limp mode but I didn't have the resistors is that why

[@richardlee3511]

Great video just 1 question your not having any problems with hyperflashing with your headlights on right? I’m having that problem but I also saw on Tacomaworld that they spliced the yellow wire instead of the green one? If your not having any problems ill just follow your lead thanks!

[@Runnin4Tacos]

Richard Lee I originally had problems with the headlights on, no longer though after the resistor. The yellow on the driver side and the blue on the passenger side I believe connects to the hazards which are pretty much the same thing so which is why the issue is resolved either way

[@ericberry5312]

Sick vid!!! Toss a broke dad a set of those H11 led bulbs! Thank you for the opportunity.

[@mojor9687]

You make it look so easy with the detailed instructions on the installation. It makes it easier for me to do these things and spend money. Have you ever had any issues with splicers not providing the current? And can you please provide the link for the lights?

[@Runnin4Tacos]

Jose Recoder I'm glad our video helps! Except the part about spending money 😂 sorry about that part. I haven't had issues with the splicers at all. The links to the bulbs are in the description of this video, I'll always put them in the description for every video in case you would like to use the same products. Thanks for your feedback!

[@mojor9687]

Taco Twonz I’m looking for the splicers online. Not sure if I’m looking at the right ones...can you suggest what I should look for specifically when searching?

[@Runnin4Tacos]

Jose Recoder depends what size you want. If the gauge you are using it on is a 18 then get the 18 gauge splice. It should be red. The blue one is for a 16 gauge I believe

[@munoz0507]

So you only need one resistor for each side even if you have the front led turn signal and the rear turn signal

[@doublehelix457]

I love r4t and I love this video. Only thing is that the resistor worked only when I tied into the black/white and blue or yellow and left the ground off. Otherwise thanks for this

[@horaciosanchez7947]

sorry, or the other way around.

[@Doogerauoy]

If you switch front signal and back signal to LED, do you need a resistor for both front and back? Or just add a resistor to one end?

[@Runnin4Tacos]

All 4 might need a resistor, for us we only needed it in the rear.

[@jakehumphreys5176]

JFYI - the wiring instructions may be incorrect. I have a 2020 and I had to bridge yellow to white/black (driver side) and blue to white/black (pass side).

[@danielfernandez2942]

So I purchased all the same bulb except I used the same bulb for both brake and taillight. Watched your video installed the resistors. Hyper flash gone during day but when headlights come on they start hyper flashing again. I have the led for the headlight turn signal as well. Do you need resistors for those too?

Is the quality of light output the same doing this process as opposed to just buying a plug and play type of resistor?

Awesome! What size r ur tires?

[@JackStefanski]

So you only need the resistor in the rear for both the front and back turn signal to work properly?

[@Runnin4Tacos]

Correct

[@brucesatow]

Do you have to replace both the turn signal bulb and the brake light bulb? Can you just install the brake light LED only? If you just install the brake light LED do you still need to use the resistor? If you do, how do you install the resistor for the brake light if it is needed?

[@Runnin4Tacos]

You can replace whichever bulb you want, no need to do all of them. There are videos on how to install resistors on KZbin, we don't have one unfortunately

[@michaelsteele7746]

Thanks for the video! Will the front turn signals need to be changed at the same time as the rear? Will the front require a resistor also? Thanks

[@Runnin4Tacos]

Michael Steele nope! It won't need to be changed at the same time. The front won't need a resistor at all.

[@kalmanzsambokijr.2684]

@@Runnin4Tacos So- I have 2 Led bulbs for the front turn signals that hyper-flash, if I install the resistors for the rear, will I not need to install 2 resistors for the front?

[@Runnin4Tacos]

Kalman Zsamboki Jr. Good question, I don't think you will need it for the front once you have the rear resistors in. The reason why I think that is because after installing only 1 resistor to the rear turn signal, all of my hyper flash issues were fixed. So I didn't to use both resistors in the rear. I hope that helps

[@Runnin4Tacos]

MatthieuS24 that's strange, I do not have this issue. I used the signals with the car off in the video actually and nothing. Try putting your stock front bulbs in and see if it's normal. If it is you will have to install resistors in the front signals as well. Kind of a pain but it's that or don't use your signals when your car isn't off, most of us don't anyways

It is kind of hard to say, The hyperflash occurs for any sequence of LED add on. So you kind of have to see which LED the truck is picky about and play with it from there.
