    Anyone have a link to LED bulbs for turn signals which don't hyperflash? I don't want to do resistors. Surely there are bulbs that have them built in or something? What's so hard about this?

    for front or rear? Both?

    some trucks get different results using LED's, some get hyper flash and some don't.

    are you not wanting resistors due to having to splice? there are options out there where resistors can be added without splicing and wires ~ just plug and play

    Both preferably. That's correct, I don't want to splice.

    This is by far the best way. The bulbs I used that had built in resistors failed within 1 hot Texas summer. This was easy and still works perfectly today. I imagine the process is similar to 2014-2021 as not much changed with the core electronics.

    So there's enough room for the resistor packs between the tail light housing and the truck body itself? No heat/melting plastic issues?

    The VLED resistor has double-sided tape on it, but I used a couple of self-tapping screws as well.
    Plenty of room between the tail light and the truck body.

    They aren't cheap, but I love my Hottail LED bulb tail light setup I got from @memario1214
    They work with the OEM tail light.
    They also come with resistors that do not require splicing..

    I got these a few months ago and was one of the best mods I've done. Along with changing out the headlights for new Toyota factory LED housing.

    So I got the VLEDs, but the one of the wires is too thick for the duotap to clamp shut. The yellow wire fits fine, the white one is thicker, barely fits and won't stay shut even after pliers. If I hold it closed with pliers it works fine but if not, it hyperflashes.
