    I've got a 2014 and I want to change the DRL/Turn/Parking lights out to white LED or maybe even the Switch back (DRL/Headlights/Parking = White and Turn Signal = Amber) if that possible. There is 3 wires going to the bulb socket.

    I've seen several different methods of correcting the "LED Hyper Flashing" for the Tacos, but I don't want to hack up anything on the truck. I am looking for a plug-n-play solution.

    So my question is; Does anyone make a 4157 LED bulb that comes with the correct resistors built in to prevent the 'hyper flash'?

    OR does anyone make an adapter/prewired kit that I can plug in between the OEM socket and LED bulb.

    Also, How is the Tacoma 4157's wired up? Standard or CK?

    VLEDs is what you want. I bought a set and was not happy with them, they do not fit in to the headlights like OEM blinkers do is the only reason I got rid of them.
