    I recommend removal of the aftermarket lights and re-install the OEM lights.
    Contact the seller and return those lights before they do irreparable damage to your Taco.

    Happened many times, search in here.
    From what I can remember the brake or turn signal connector is in backwards causing the fuse to blow(and the other stuff happening)
