    i bought these morimoto LeD front blinker, license plate, and rear back up lights as direct replacement. Originally they made the blinkers not work but were just constant on. After removal and reinsertion it shorted out front, rear, blinker, everything but the actual low and high beam. After replace fuse #4 under instrument panel iv got constant on with original factory bulb but nothing will blink. Front, rear or instrument panel won't blink

    Any ideas??

    Are those front blinkers 3157ck's or just 3157's? Not sure what vehicle you are putting them into, but I think the 05-15 Tacomas need 3157CK for fronts.

    Sorry to hear of the issue! It sounds like the ACME bulbs are in question and not the Morimotos. ACMEs are compatible with both CK and non-CK wiring normally--I use these on my FJ in fact. Of course if they're not compatible even after troubleshooting, I recommend returning them to the vendor they were purchased from based on their returns protocol.
