    Not speaking for OP. Myself and few other members asked the same question, and doing some research.
    Here is a link to a post I've made, with embedded video by Headlight Revolution, testing 15 LED bulbs.

    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...nd-fog-liht-replacement.504438/#post-15826301

    Next post has a video them testing few bulbs in a Tacoma.

    Good luck

    Alrighty...Hyperblink fixed (links to products)!
    Front Turns: Installed the 7440 in line resistors in the front with Diode Dynamics HP11 bulbs-had to trim the resistors to fit into the headlight
    Rear Turns and stops: Diode Dynamic XP80's with Diode dynamics resistor kit wired onto the turn signal
    Backup lights: Diode Diode Dynamics XP50
    Low and High beams: MICTUNING H11
    Interior: Amazon kit
    Plate and side markers: Yorkim 194

    I would highly recommend new Low beams and ditch the LEDs for Lows.

    Had them for about 2 weeks now, they're fine on main roads/highway but for back roads they leave a bit to be desired which is made up by the high-beams. In the high-beam position they're phenomenal. I'll try to get some beam pattern pictures tonight... I forgot to post my cheapo fogs...they're disappointing...looking at Baja Designs driving lights instead when I get a bunch of extra cash saved up.

    I went all VLEDS and am super happy with them. Granted I'm missing a few that are still on pre-order, and I went HID on low beam , better halogen on high beam so I didn't go full conversion.

    Oh, I haven't figured a good way to get into the front side markers through the hood so those weren't converted to LED either.

    20170818_205544.jpg here's the low beams

    20170818_205551.jpg and the high beams.

    I didn't adjust iso/exposure... it's on auto so not a great irl comparison

    Through the recommendation by @jonnyozero3 I went ahead and bought these Philips Vision7443LED (red) from Amazon and installed them for the rear parking and brake lights. Super easy install with a nice and fast light up and brighter brake light.

    Anyone run into problems when adding led turn signals, I added the 6 ohm resistor in the rear the turn flashes normal but when the headlight is on the left turn flashes maybe a second and shut don't I have to remote the 6 ohm resistor then its fine but weird the right side is perfect, I thought was the bulbs so I swapped it with new ones still left side giving me problems.

    I hate to say it, but you might need to take off the resistor and re check using oem bulb. Before you do that, just remove the LED bulb and check the turn signal again.
    It's possible the either your resistor could be shot, or you've managed to wire it wrong (signal to parking instead of ground.
    Good luck, and report back

    Hey guys, recently converted all my interior bulbs and a few exterior bulbs on my '17 TRD Sport over to Diode Dynamic LED bulbs. I wanted to share an image of my order to help those interested in swapping to LED.

    Everything was a perfect fit, no issues at all and you can't beat the quality or improvement over stock bulbs!

    List is: map lights, dome lights, vanity mirro lights, reverse lights and license plate lights.

    So I have replaced my right rear tail light bulb once already and now they are both out again! I stopped and picked up the Sylvania LED version and tried it with one bulb in, now I have no tail lights on either side?? I found the tail light fuse by OBD port (7.5amp) and it tests good with ohm meter. Is there another fuse somewhere by the battery that I need to check? I still have head lights and brake lights.

    Replaced my interior bulbs with LEDs purchased from Headlight Revolution. After install I thought my battery was dying in my smartkey so I replaced the battery but I was still running into a problem unlocking my doors. I have my keyless set in 2 clicks for all doors and when the LEDs come on after first click, my keyless remote will not do anything until the lights go out. Anyone else run into a similar issue? Recommended corrections?

    WTF!? Isn't this just crazy, replacing some silly bulbs creates ef'n issues!?
    Anyone has solutions, or at least some (decent) explanation about what's going on? Please!
