    @Asimov2025 what are these for? I didn’t see them use these in the video. For hyperflash fix?

    Correct. FYI, if you have Morimoto headlights like I do, bear in mind this will not fix the hyperflash to the front. When I installed mine, my tail lights would work normally but would hyperflash in the front. You will need to add the resistors to the front turn signal wires. Hope that helps.

    I have the factory led lights and I did add them. There should be 4 screws and you arrange them on the back of the light and screw them down. The leads plug into the empty leads on the lights. Install the lights and good to go.

    Everything is working great since installed.

    I have morimoto headlights. Does this mean those resistors are required then, or are they just there for "just in case"?

    Your situation may not be the same as mine, but just to elaborate, I had Morimotos up front and had Spec-D LED tail lights in back. Didn't have any hyperflashing with this set up. When I installed my Morimoto tail lights, the tail lights would turn sequential normally but the front turn signals would hyperflash. The emergency lights would make everything sequentially blink normally. It didn't matter if I added the included resistors to the tails. The fronts would just hyperflash away. It confused me because not only did I not experience hyperflash with my previous LED setup, I was under the understanding the Morimoto head lights had built in resistors.

    So, long story short, if you install the tails and your fronts hyperflash, add resistors to the headlights. You can either splice the existing resistors that came with the tails or buy another aftermarket resistors. I opted to just go with the VLED VLR-6 series just because their install method seemed high quality and confident for me.

    Edit: Here's a video of how they install and why I chose them.

    Looking good @PRO BLANCO :thumbsup:

    Can you post more pictures, especially close-ups to see how they fit compared to OEM?

    I received these Morimoto XB LED tail lights today. Went to install them on my 15 Tundra SR5. Got the brake and driving light connectors together ok but the turn connector on the new tails wouldnt engage correctly. I nearly couldnt even get the connectors together. How about you? I requested an RMA. These were 630.00 on sale. I shouldnt have any troubles.

    I didn't have any issues. Did you by chance take any photos? I'm curious to see what it looked like to cause such an issue.

    Ill take some snaps later today. I was really suprised the female connector wouldnt engage very easily and once it did, the male pin on the lamp side wasnt even close to the turn harness connector.

    Senior moment. I was attempting to plug the turns into the wrong connector. I looked again and saw the turn receptacle on the tails. They went together just fine an are operative. All is well.

    So the included resistors you installed with the Morimoto tails right? I just wanted to double check as I have the black factory LED headlights waiting to install and the Morimoto tails. I figured I'd bang them both out this week sometime. Didn't want to install the headlights and then realize the resistors should be for them.

    Will get some pics soon but I finally installed my morimoto tail lights. Really easy install and I did have to use the included resistors as my oem 2020 TRD Pro LED headlights were hyperflashing without the resistors. Very happy!

    Anyone else have spots on both taillights that look like little chips? Middle inside of each light? Just installed mine today. Love the look but my left one looks chipped from a distance. The right one up close. 0D3F2D89-9DF6-41BC-8B75-FA17604A2D34.jpgBAF62B3E-8FDD-470D-81BA-87DD4212EE4B.jpg
