    somewhere deep in this post i read someone mentioned that these turn signal bulbs are 4 poles that's why it's so dang difficult to get them right. Thanks for being the guinea pig though

    I haven't got around to it but I want to email one of the LED/hid retailers and see if they have the actual LED relay that you can replace so you don't have to go through this resistor stuff. Makes me wonder if the flasher relay from the Corolla with the LED package is a direct swap

    Can anyone verify the vanity bulb number?

    You can't fix it without resistors.

    7065 is a non existent # other than OEM from what I've researched. So does anyone else have a cross referenced number for 7065? Super bright led has a few but I'm looking for sylvania zero in particular.

    I ordered the bulbs from the OP for my low beams and fogs. Fogs work fine and the color is much better. However, the low beams had pathetic light output with the projectors. I'm returning them to Amazon immediately and I'm gonna order an hid kit.

    Picture shows led fogs and led in drivers side low beam/stock halogen in pass. side low beam.

    Im leaning towards the HID route as well, unless I want to crack open my HL assembly to retrofit actual LED projectors.

    I would highly recommend staying away from led unless you do an led projector like you said.

    ***HYPER BLINKING RESOLVED***

    I was able to resolve my hyper blinking today with resistors. It seemed rather intimidating at first, but was really easy.

    I used the easy splice connectors in both of the rear tails/flashers. You have to use them on #1 and #3 wires for both drivers and passengers side.

    Grounds were WHITE/BLACK and the Tails/Flashers were the thicker gauge wire (blue and yellow). Again they are NUMBERED, 1,2, and 3. #2 is ignored on both drivers/passengers side, which was GREEN.

    I would live to do that. Are there any instructions or any info on how to do this?

    Is there any way to determine by looking at the specs of the LEDs in question if one will experience hyperblinking?

    VLEDS had some new products coming shortly I would like to use, but don't want to spend $100+ on turn signals, then have to buy different ones for rears or something and have a bunch of monkeying around to do.

    ALL LEDs will hyper blink. And it's easy to fix with resistors. No monkeying around. Read my post above.

    Yes I read it and understand the principle, thank you for the post.

    VLEDS new ones seem awesome.

    Talking about the Triton V6 which you can order with load resistors that are super easy to install. But that is like $230. For just the fronts. Then if I want to do the rears and brake lights it's another $150. And then I'm not sure if the hyperflash will be fixed with just the front resistors. Might need rear too.

    Was thinking the consumption of these high output leds will perhaps be close to halogens and might only need resistors for the front. Guessing it's possible based on some people only changing one end and not getting hyperflashing.

    I went ahead and ordered a set of the new high output all aluminum reverse lights for $80. Hoping that tides me over till I get my bumper installed.

    Brighter brake lights can't hurt so I should probably grab a set of the high output red at minimum.

    I could always try them in the turn signals and see what happens. It's not too hard to take the rear taillight off. I think I might just be better off ordering all 4 and then change bulbs all at once.

    I guess I should go take one side off just to confirm exactly which bulbs I need.
