    Just installed new winjet taillights on my tundra( plug and play). Both blinkers hyper flash. Anyway to fix this issue. Previously I installed Morimoto headlights on my tundra and everything was working correctly so I know it’s an issue with taillights

    Yes, I'm not sure the size, but you need to add resistors to the wiring

    Welcome from NY.
    Adding resisters will end the hyper flash.

    If this is the driver for the LED lights. I got no paper work on adding a resistor. Web page never said anything bout adding a resistor with these taillights.

    So I need to add a resistor into the factory wiring harness on the blinker side. Does it matter which wire.

    So this includes with installing a full functional Led light assembly (except reverse light bulb).

    Oddly enough I did not have to add resistors to my truck and I've got LEDs everywhere. When I went to Winjets the thing I did notice were the little LEDs on the side fell down and I went in there to find the LEDs and the circuit boards were held in place with hot glue. Pulled all that off, super glued then put back together. Problem solved. I have had zero issues since.

    I do have LED replacements for the reverse lights as well.

    Thanks for the info. Looks like I’m retiring these lights and looking into getting something that will meet my expectations

    Ok guys. Just sent my winjet taillights back. Gonna take a few days to get a refund. Need to know what’s out there. Looking for a slick looking light replacement with Full Led capability with no replacing bulbs. Don’t want to install resistor in factory harness either. Anything out there worth the money that fits the truck snug. Those winjet didn’t seat up to body of truck like Oem. Pic for attention and info you guys have any suggestions.

    Talk about poor customer service. I just shipped mine back UPs ground. So hopefully in a few days I will see my refund.

    This happened to me as well. I was going to throw them away and get new taillights. I fixed them instead and no problems.

    I have a 2018 Sport and no hyperflash.
