    If you switch your blinkers to LEDs you'll get hyperblinking and to solve that issue you'll need to put in a load resister.

    So you for sure need a load resistor on the Tacoma's? I read you can get a load resister or a new LED compliant blinker relay. Is that right?

    I just put in LED parking lights and front blinkers, the blinkers are hyper blinking, so I guess I need to get a resistor.

    can I wire the parking lights to blink along with the blinkers?

    and will the resistor brighten up the LEDS at all?

    no, a resistor will not brighten them up. that will depend on what watt led you use

    Just to confirm, that's only for the turn signals not the led tail lights? My friend is checking on some tails for me. And, '09 and '10's the same? Thanks.
