How are ya community? Simple stupid question for you SME's. We have a 2013 Tacoma TRD Off RD, and I bought Sylvania LED's 4157A for the front turn signals after I had a bulb burnout on one side. Now both sides are blinking fast after installation of the two bulbs. Normal? Go back to the stock type of bulb? Thoughts?

1. Sylvania LEDs are horribly dim.
2. You need to buy CK type LEDs for the front turn signals. If they don't say CK on the package.... They're not. The rear turn signals are not CK.
3. What you have going on is called hyperflash. It happens when you put LEDs in the turn signals with the OEM flasher.
4. There are 2 ways to fix hyperflash
a. Install resistors at the lights
b. Install a flasher that's made for LEDs, like Diode Dynamics.
