    Yeah something is wrong with that link.... I really dislike their website design and the colors. The text looks so flashy...like it came from microsoft paint, lol.

    That is really amazing video @Parker315 - the team thanks you for being honest and putting this much work into it.

    I can vouch and say these really are an incredible front turn LED and brightest I ever seen while being:
    -truly plug and play
    -error free
    -NO hyper-flashing
    -dark amber color
    -can be seen in direct sun light
    -seen better with the brighter HID/LED upgrades everyone is doing. People forget about the turns and the halogens get lost in the brighter upgraded lighting you added.

    The listing for the 7440 is $54.99 - you selected a 921 bulb and that was $44.99 so that is what is being confused. You need 7440 on the drop down menu.

    The listing for 7440 turns:
    http://deautokey.com/product/universal-front-turn-signal-leds-fits-all-car-models

    This is for 7440 ONLY.

    7443 are in testing now and will be updated when done. They have some excited new products coming out.

    ALL LEDs for your Tacoma - reverse - interior - HID low - fogs:
    http://deautokey.com/category/shop-by-car-model-toyota-tacoma-all-years-trims

    @Technique thanks for the suggesting. Let me know what you want to see changed and I can run it by them for sure.

    The site is made to be simple so it gets the point across to what they offer right in every listing. When asked about it the team said it cuts down on people asking about shipping costs/warranty/if they ship to Canada etc. Having it there is what really helps people see quickly what they truly offer.

    They have codes for the forum. I posted it a few posts back. As you can see while a vendor I have waited to post threads. The deAutoLED team is not just here to drop and go for a quick buck and want to prove what they can offer before making sale threads.

    Ok, so I ordered the correct bulbs. I just should've asked first about forum discounts before purchasing. I could have saved another 5%................

    Thanks for the support everyone. They do appreciate.

    They also have a new dual yellow/white LED kit - it is not the novelty cheap models these work amazing as white or yellow for the winter:

    I suggest going with the brighter model in my opinion. I do not have photos of the less intense but from what I was told from speaking with the team they sell the brighter model and feel it is what most like. But it is up to you and sorry I do not have any photos.

    The OP recommended AStar 3030 bulbs from the 1st post hyperflash in my 18, rear brake and turn signals. Anyone got substitutes?

    @deAutoLED.com has some very impressive upgrades and the front turns do not require resistors and no hyper flash. I've only tested the front turns. 7443 are in testing now and will be updated when done. They have some exciting new products coming out.


    Here is my video I did on the Front 7440 bulbs.

    I just purchased the xennon depot hid kit and love it! However I need to adjust the lights. I know I can go up and down but can we adjust left and right also? If so where is that adjustment located on each light? Most importantly what should the lights be set at height? And left right if needed? Should the passenger light be higher than the driver side so I don’t blind people. Thanks for any help!

    No Horizontal adjustment, only vertical. There is a silver adjustment screw on the back of the housing that has what look like "teeth". Turning clockwise looking at it from the back or counter clock if you're standing in front of the light looking down will adjust them upward. Adjust both to the same height and make sure the truck is on a level surface. Id recommends a clean flat wall and some tape for reference to the current height.

    Very helpful thank you! My only problem is I didn’t measure it originally and I started to play with the heights.

    Honestly, that's not to big of an issue. Just adjust them little by little and again keep them both lined up at the same height. Go drive and if needed adjust a little more. Do that till you feel they look right. If you start getting flashed, adjust them back down slightly. A little adjustment can make a big difference. They move millimeters at a time. So close range may not seem like much but the long distance it could be a few inches.

    I did the install of these @deAutoLED.com 7440 Amber LED Turn Signals that @Parker315 installed and has the video on, and can attest to how freaking insanely bright they are. I definitely feel like I upped the safety factor because you would have to be blind not to see these babies in action. Even in the full light of the day they are incredible. Install was a breeze, and took 10 minutes tops. I was also very impressed with the weight of these bulbs. They are not wimpy at all, so you can tell there is some serious construction in them. Oh, I had no hyper flashing at all. Zero. So now, all the bulbs in my front housings are LED. My reverse bulbs are LED but the rear turn and brake are still incandescent. That will be changed soon too.

    Great job Brett, excellent recommendation! :thumbsup:
