    Can someone tell me the correct LED Flasher Relay for a 2nd gen 05-15 to correct hyper flash in the turn signals? Also location of relay,Fuse box in cab or under hood?

    Do you have amber daytime running lights? Is there a DRL position on your turn signal stalk? If so then you're stuck using load resistors. 6 ohm 50 watt is what I've used.

    There is also a mod that can be done to the factory flasher to change the resistors in it by filing them down. Search a bit and you should find the writeup if you would like to go that way but it's more labor intensive due to location of the module.

    Personally I went with resistors, they're much easier to install and cheap, a set of 4 is around $6 on Amazon.

    My main reasons for originally going for LED's was a coworkers 2010 or 2011 Tacoma had melted lenses due to his DRL's. I thought it may be an issue on mine and ordered LED's for the front the first week. I've since learned that issue wasn't as prevalent on the 2012-2015 Tacomas. Still like the LED's and am glad I went this way.

    If you've not bought LED's yet, make sure the front are CK type lights or you'll blow the fuse for the taillights.

    Here is a link:

    This is what I did except I bought a second module. I left the original installed and just unplugged the cable from it. I modified the shunts in the second module slightly and the plugged it in and tested the results.It took two attempts. when done I zipped tied it in place. Cost about $40 if I recall.
    At this time I only swapped the DRLs to LED. I can always file more off the shunts if I swap out the rest of the turn signals to LEDs.

    Thanks just went with the VLEDS with built in resistors.
