I am so happy with these and were not hard to do at all! Boiling method! FTW!!!!

(I just realized I may have double posted since I had a thread in Exterior Styling! I am sorry, you can delete this and if you like I will post these in there, let me know before hand ya?)

Hopefully this will help promote the amazing work of Richard (Wolfie308, is the the correct ID? I Just know him as Richard) and will encourage more people to purchase from him so that he may continue to make these products for others. I am soooooooo loving these.


A lil look at the LEDs before hand







Now the Lenses!!!








THe only thing is now my blinkers with those LEDs do the whole TWEAKER BLINKER thing, ya know? Where they blink real fast. Not sure if it is the fact they run on 3w (12V 3w, I think regular bulbs do 12v 5w? Dunno) or if maybe I put them in backwards (just now in the dark)? I have a yellow set with regular bulbs if that gets on my nervs or a severe problem to electrical due to the LEDs.

If you know if maybe they need resistors, perhaps what kind I might need and how to install them? Thanks.

The LEDs are probably even less than 3w. Yes, that is the reason they flash fast. You need to replace the turn signal relay (behind the driver's kick panel) with an electronic version. Be careful to order the correct one - the pin numbering and locations vary from car manufacturer to manufacturer. The OEM relay has a handy diagram on it to help you identify the correct replacement. I suspect that Toyota probably do their own electronic relay but the aftermarket ones work just fine and are probably much cheaper.

I ordered mine from aceparts on ebay. Just search for them if this link doesn't work. I can't be sure that the item in the listing is the correct one for our cars so please check before ordering (in any case I do know that they stock the right one).

So you can or cannot use resistors with regular bulbs if originally you did them specifically for LEDs? Basically asking if with the use of resistors, can one use both regular bulbs and LEDs?

As answered in your other thread, you need to remove the load resistors again if you revert to filament bulbs. However, if you instead use an electronic flasher relay you can mix and match leds and filament bulbs as you desire.
