relay for led lights

hey all.

Just put my 3rd set of lights in our truck. I went with the smoked lenses this time. So this time im going to install some led light in the front turn signals so the halogen dont get hot in there. My question is should i just add load resistors or is there a easy fix like changing the relay out or something? Thanks for any help guys

(FYI the front turn signals aren't halogen, just standard incandescent)

Anyway, what year is your truck and does it have DRLs?

 

It's a 2010

 

You can get load resistors but that requires cutting into your factory wiring. I would look into VLEDs 3157ck bulbs for your turn signals (in the front; the rears use a standard 3157). They offer a plug and play solution to eliminate the need to cut wiring and still allow the use of load resistors. Theyre pricy but i think theyre worth it. I have the switchbacks on my truck

 

Do you have DRLs?

 

09+ tacos came w/ DRLs

 

VLED's all the way!! They work Great!! Plug and play resistors and all.
Love their switchback's. You can get rid of those awful Amber running lights (running lights White 6000K) and still have your Amber turn signals.

 

Unfortunately there are no relay replacement options for DRL tacomas. You can either use the VLEDs or do this mod:

I will look up the vled and see what they have

 

VLED will not disappoint you. They're not cheap. But like they say. You get what you pay for.
Below is the plug and play V3 Triton

 

X2 on this.. ED speaks the truth!

 

you can get LED flasher Relays, just swap out the other relay and put in the new one. a buddy of mine swapped his ranger to all LED turning signals and stuff and got the turn signal hyperflash, went to NAPA and got the Led flasher relay. swapped it out and works like a charm. 30$ for the Relay. Beats splicing resistors in

 

Are those 5K or 6K? I want the same match you have with the led running lights.

 

You can buy them either color. Just pick 5K or 6K on VLED's website.

 

Mine are 5k if you need an idea of what those look like. I got 5k bc i didnt want them to be too blue

 

thanks guys kind of forgot about this thread over the weekend lol. But i actaully dont mind the amber colored lights. http://www.vleds.com/all-products/vlr-resistors/parking-light-resistors/vlr-25-c.html?___SID=U is this what i need or am i not seeing it? Thanks

There is a link to the bulbs I believe the resister is that you will need are called VLR-6.
