Anyone dealing with hyper flashing when doing LED Conversion

For the 2016-2021 tacomas, did anyone have to add resistors in both the front and rear turns? Or just the front?

 

My understanding is you need to wire in the resistor for every location you’re replacing a halogen with an LED.

 

My question is whether the hyper flash is even a problem? Other than aesthetics, is it going to hurt to let it hyper flash forever?

Wiring in a resistor kinda defeats one of the reasons in going LED: voltage. The resistor + LED now draws the same voltage the halogen did, and now converts the added voltage directly to heat. So unless it is going to damage something to have hyperflash, I’m going to let them hyoerflash. If it is going to damage something, I’ll just go back to halogen.

Did more looking, can’t find that it’s a problem. However, it being dark, I went and fired everything up to see how the LED side looked. It isn’t even distinguishable from the halogen. In fact, I thought the OLD halogen looked a little brighter, even. So, heck with it. I’m going back to halogen.

 

Current, not voltage.

 

um...
Ok.

 

I don’t believe hyperflashing causes any mechanical damage if you allow it to continue. Personally it just looks bad though, when I see someone with hyperflashing signals I think they either don’t know what they’re doing, can’t afford to do it right, or think it looks cool, when it doesn’t.
I don’t think many people install LEDs in vehicles with the mindset that they use less energy. It’s not like replacing halogens in your house to save money on the electric bill in a vehicle. I’d say the top reasons are for aesthetics and for longevity of the bulb. It also allows you to do more customizations, i.e. switchbacks.
I’m running Meso stage 1 tails and 4 halos up front. I don’t have any resistors installed and don’t get hyperflashing.
There is a good chance the halogens are brighter. Depending on the quality of LEDs you install, they may not be brighter than halogens. If you install a cheap set of LEDs from the auto parts section of Walmart, the halogens will be brighter.
If you install a set of quality LEDs, such as VLED V6 Tritons, they will blow the halogens out of the water.

 

Thank you guys! Good info still lol
