    It’s the turn signals that only matter for hyperflash, so the ultimate mirror turn signals.

    Did you ever test the tritons in the front without the resistors?

    I can bet that you didn’t even need them for the fronts with the ultimate turns and can also bet after your stage2 tails you still won’t need them. Try that first and if I’m wrong well you have the resistors handy

    I have the version 1 and I tell you what...they are bright enough that when I switch to change lanes they must be bright enough because other cars allow me to merge without hesitation. Honestly,I feel these are added life insurance.
    From time to time I switch my setup from TRD Pro, to 2017, to 2019 taillights just to mix things up all with the swap of bulbs. Just for kicks.

    So far everyone suggests the soldering iron(with blade attachment) for enlarging the reverse socket. Sounds scary but I promise it’s painless!


    You should just convert the pros to stage 2:boink:

    My tail lights somewhere in there!

    Can finally sleep at night, as I dream of these.

    Then wake up from a USPS destroying my package nightmare....

    Not to speak for the other guys that are running vleds for the fronts but I'm running something different and running turn signals from DDM tuning that if I remember I only cost about $15 each. What I like about them is that they didn't need resistors and they match the color of both the tail lights and the mirror signals.

    Since installing stage 2 and the KC5, I’ve noticed the people behind me tend to brake a little harder and a lot sooner. I guess they notice my brake lights now.

    Yes those are the ones I got and the adapter was only needed on the reverse bucket socket because it was originally a smaller bulb/base so no adapter needed for the front. Can’t get any closer to a match than from the same company that uses the same components

    I've bought DDM stuff before for car and bike, every ballast blew. So I wrote them off. I do have another set of bulbs in there now, but just like to keep things nice. I'll swap to the VLEDs just so things match all around.

    You must be talking about their HIDs. I had the same issue also with multiple HID kits from them for different cars (hence the lifetime warranty) but that's not solely just a DDM thing. Other manufacturers have the same issues with HIDs. It used to irritate me having a blown HID from time to time. I'm running only LEDs from them now for both headlights hi/lo and all other LEDs and no issues whatsoever.
