    What resistors should I use for the turn signals in the rear to stop the hyper flash on my led bulbs? I’ve seen a few online but some says it doesn’t work for their Tacomas so I want to make sure I purchase one that will work. Any recommendations?

    If I remember correctly I used 10 ohm resistors. I think that I still have a spare so if I can find it I’ll confirm that.

    7 Ohm / 20 watt is about the turn signal bulb, so anything 10 Ohm / 25 watt should work as long as it has a ally housing for heat dispersion. Remember when you wire it up, you need to use the resistor to ADD load to the turn signal circuit.

    I just hook it up on the two wires just like what they did in the YouTube video

    Fixed it. Wrong wiring. Don’t follow the YouTube channel.
