    Sylvania 7440a Zevo LED with the rear firing LED’s (old design has forward firing and isn’t bright). 7443a will work too, I’ve tried both, just make sure to get the rear firing version.

    My only assumption is that people are impatient and because he’s not a TW member the moderators can’t directly talk to him so they shut it down. They’re made to order, take about 2 weeks, and there’s tons of happy customers on here. Patience is a virtue and it’s become less common in a world full of immediate gratification and 2-day Amazon deliveries.

    Do you have MESO ultimate turn lights in your mirrors? If so, I'm pretty sure they have resistors in them so people should consider that with your comments. I'm definitely not an expert on electrical stuff but figured I'd add this.

    I have Meso turn signals but I had hyper flash with them before installing the resistors. Why would the Meso mirror signals have additional resistors? The stock mirror flasher is already LED. Can @MESO confirm this?

    I’ll wait to find out from Meso but maybe this is a new addition to his Ultimate Turn Signals? I had his turn signals way before converting everything to LED’s and I had to pick up some Sylvania load resistors to fix the hyper flash with the OEM headlights and the Meso Ultimate Turn Signals.

    I just sent the money to Mike last night for my harness :)

    For the headlights did you go with TRD Pro or just the Standard LED?

    Which OEM fogs did you go with, the kind that come from the Tundra and what not?

    I went with the TRD Pro Rigid lights, cause they look better.
    But the standard LED fog lights perform far better than the Rigids.

    Well without Meso Ultimate turns, Sylvania doesn’t function the same way for me. I still hyper flash without load resistors. So there is probably a resistor in yours.

    Just got home from the dealership from picking up the headlights and mikes harness was sitting in the mailbox. Going to install first thing in the morning. Top notch work on the harness and headlights look soo good in person.

    Here is how to do it the hard way.
    6FE4E14F-2999-4FFF-B20B-B475CA57F033.jpg

    Pro tip: don’t install the headlight inside the metal, make sure it slides into place on the outside where it belongs. In other words, pay close attention to the outside edge and make sure it is lined up while you slide into position. Speaking from experience (had to drop the bumper a second time once I realized my mistake). I’m pretty sure I’m the only bonehead who did that though.

    Have you had issues with condensation in the headlight?
