    Not sure where you got the LEDs from, but it sounds like you have the wrong bulbs or adapters for the Turn Signals. Some of the LED companies, I have V-LED Switchbacks in my truck, offer an adapter for certain Toyota models including the Tacoma and Tundra. Without these, you will blow the fuse as soon as you power up the DRLs or Turn Signals.

    Sounds like you need resistors. Turn signals usually need it or it will do this

    I thought the resistor was just to make it blink slower. I have a resistor, didn't put it on though. Everything works fine, just the turn signal blinks twice as fast. But thats how i like it lol
