    I have a 2015 1794 tundra. I recently installed the 2019-2021 headlights. I tried to install led blinker bulbs from JDM Aster and they hyperflashed on me. Looked on youtube and it has happened to alot of guys with 2015,2016, and 2017. My first question is why. Next question is are there any other kind of led blinker bulbs that don't hyperflash.

    On factory vehicles that use incandescent bulbs, the truck monitors the resistance of the bulb to let you know when you have a bulb out. If there's a drop in resistance from a burnt out bulb, it hyperflashes to let you know you need to fix it. LED bulbs have very little resistance so even when functioning correctly, the truck doesn't know that and assumes a bulb is burnt out.

    If you don't mind tapping some wires, it's very easy to add a resistor.

    If you don't want to do any wire tapping, there are plug and play options as well.
