    ok so I got a relay switch to run the LED day time runners and blinkers and i tried to get the stock relay out my 08 tacoma and it would NOT budge, long story short i ended up breaking the thing and now i have no blinkers.

    has any one succesfully got this thing out? or is there any way to go around this so the LEDs do not hyper flash??

    Long story short. There are several remedies. I did the stock blinker resistor mod. You'll find a LOT of info in a search of "BLINKER L.E.D." mods.

    Mine came out easily. I read that some folks had an issue. Maybe disconnect the battery and try prying around the edges. Mine is now held on with a zip-tie outside of the panel for easier access.

    how did you do that? it connects into the fuse box, theres no connector to take it away from there. do you have any pictures? what year is your truck?
