    Hi everyone, I have a 2014 Tundra SR5 and I have replaced the headlights and taillights with led. Now when I turn on the head lights there are a few lights that come on the dash and also my turn signals go really fast. Any help resolving this issue would be very much appreciated

    Sounds like the hyperflashing problem, you need to install load resistors and should fix it, and don't worry, it's not as scary as it sounds. There should be a thread or 20 in the forums here on how to do it.

    Is that just for the back or the front too?

    Resistors only go on the bulbs that flash...ie turn signals front and rear.

    So what exactly is the problem with the headlights? I haven't looked into LED headlights much, but I have HID, and some of those require a CANBUS adaptor to outsmart the Tundies brain box.
    Was just looking at another post and they were mentioning having to put resistors on their LED headlights.
