comprehensive LED solution for 2013 Tundra tail light bulbs

Forgive me if this has been discussed, but I cannot find comprehensive information on my 2013 Tundra for brake/reverse/turn signal LED bulbs that will work (with or without resistors, relays, etc)...

Let me know if I’m wrong, but for the tail lights I think I need
3157 for brake,
3157 CK for turn signal, and
921 for reverse?

So, if I go to LEDs first of all I’m not paying $200/pair or whatever it is for VLEDs, I’m just trying to find the requirements I need to:
1. Purchase the right LED and
2. The right resistor, if needed.

If I get the correct LED for any of these locations, do they all need resistors or just some of the bulbs need resistors? What load rating of resistor do I need per each? Can I just replace with an electronic turn signal relay to fix the entire LED problem, or does that only address turn signals, but the brake lights will still give me problems?

Would love the specifics on what each choice would need whether it’s led and separate resistor, no resistor, etc...

Thanks in advance y’all!

 

So I have LED's all over my truck.

The brake lights do not need resistors as there is no flash function on them so they will not hyper flash.

Same with the reverse lights and the lights over the bed in the third brake light.

Both of my rear turn signals needed resistors.

The fronts were odd as only my passenger side caused a hyper flash when I installed LEDs, so I only needed one restore on the passenger side.

all of my resistors are 50w and 6ohm

I used morimoto bulbs in my brakes and turn signals. I got red LED for brakes, amber for front and rear turn signals. whites for reverse and bed lighting

 

I use vleds and Amazon JDM brand.

 

i just got mine off ebay cheap as hell work great

 

I have been impressed with jdm astar LED bulbs from Amazon.
For resistors I also went with amazon. You can use 6 ohm 50 watt resistors on each light and get should get rid if hyperflash. You could also use 3 ohm resistors and that will cover you if you ever put LED trim signals in the headlights. To sum it up, If you do 6 ohm resistors, you will need a resistor for each light, but a 3 ohm will cover 2 lights (driver side front and rear, passenger side front and rear.

 

See post #11: https://www.tundras.com/threads/tundra-replacement-bulbs.233/

When using the lists in this thread, you should be aware that some bulbs fill multiple functions depending on the light housing design. For example, on my 2017, the stop light, tail light, and side marker functions are all handled by a single 3157 dual element bulb. Because of this, it may be easier to simply remove a light housing and check the bulb numbers and verify function.

Good info on the resistor requirements already given. Resistors are only required on the turn signal circuits because of flashers being historically designed to hyperflash to alert the owner when an incandescent bulb burns out (reduces the resistance in the circuit). By replacing the incandescent with an LED, you are removing the resistance of the incandescent bulb, and the flasher thinks the bulb is burned out.
