    Just bought my first Tacoma, a 2007 PreRunner, and wanted to upgrade a number of the bulbs to LEDs for reasons. I swamped out pretty much every interior and exterior light, except the headlights, and everything seems to be working correctly.

    The one really odd thing is when locking or unlocking the truck only the driver-side turn signals flash. It was definitely flashing both sides before I made the swap. Now I also removed some sort of security device at the same time as I was replacing the flasher with an LED-compatible one to prevent hyperflashing. The security device was hacked in a bit, but nothing too serious. I was careful and I don't *think* I did any damage to any other wiring, but I'm wondering if anyone has any idea what might be going on here.

    I will also note that the hazard flasher and the turn signals both appear to be working correctly. This issue ONLY occurs when using the key fob to lock and unlock the doors.

    Gear installed:
    - Flasher: Novita Technologies 13.5 Amp 8 Terminal Lighting Control Module/Flasher (NOV LM449)
    - Flasher Bulbs: Sylvania 3157 High-Performance Amber ZEVO LED Mini Bulbs

    Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated.
