    I installed some new led switchback's today and instantly when I turned them on to test, they blew the tail 10 amp fuse. I replaced the fuse, tried again and it blew again.

    I ordered 3157 because they were the same as the 4157 from the research I did.

    Depending which type you bought, you may need resistors. I've been there before

    The lights I got were a standard base light and the '15 tacoma has a ck based housing so that is why they kept blowing a fuse. So now I have to find CK version. I may go V-led (even though they are stupid expensive), but at least they have the built in resistors

    VLEDS are worth it.
