    In testing the first Morimoto XB LED turn signal bulbs, we found out that CK wiring is apparently completely different than non-CK, so we got a sample pair of CK bulbs. They work beautifully on the Tacoma. Here's white in the turn signals (the prototype set is white, I'd prefer amber):

    Despite the white balance, these are VERY color-neutral, so I would put them at 5000-5500K in color. Nothing blue by any means.

    Here are the bulbs by themselves:

    These will be ~$45 per pair and will require an electronic flasher ($10 on Amazon) for proper flashing speed.

    Thoughts?

    Why don't you guys get a ton of the flashers, include it in the price and send everything together? I hate having to piece together parts :(
