    A couple of days ago I installed LED tail lights. Last night I was using my left turn signal, and I noticed that the indicator in the mirror went from normal flashing, to hyperflasing, to not flashing at all. I have a TRD Pro with the sequential front turn signals. Now the turn signal, and the indicator in the mirrors aren't working, the front and rear signals are working, same issue for both side. Will installing LED's in the mirrors solve my problem? Thanks for reading!!!

    In some cases yes, it balances out the amp / draw load. I would suggest putting the stock bulbs back in for the time being or at least add resistors to your LED's

    I tried taking mine apart and soldering a new LED strip. Big pita, way easier to just buy those

    Pick up a set of Mesos Total Tails. You wont be disappointed. And if it still hyper flashes, he will send you the resistors.
