LED help.....replacing without the headaches - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Well, I decided to swap out almost every bulb in the car for the LED counterpart.....went smoothly until I did the hazards and the tail, now when you brake, the parking lights come on (that'll play hell with someone behind me

) and the parking lights are either non blinking or hella fast. I know there is a relay to swap out to cure this, but I am old, searched it here and still come up wondering, if someone can find EXACTLY what relay I need for this, I would be grateful. Thanks

SuperBrightLEDs electronic relay list will tell you which one you need and then go here to their "Buy it" page to actually buy it, site design has weird navigation. They also sell resistance loaders to trick the "bulb out system" for the tail lights so that warning light doesn't come on. You could probably find it somewhere else locally, but that site was my source.

thanks a million, now 1 other question I had is the load resistors (I could pull the bulb on the dash at any rate keep in mind) do I need 1 or 1 per tail light? Thanks again, and mad props on the links too.....great thing for others to know as well

Unfortunately it's one for each LED bulb you replaced, so it gets expensive quick. I didn't bother with it and I ignore the "light out" warning in the dash.
Here's the page with the info and pics on their LED tail light products, load resistors are towards the bottom of the page.

I guess I'll be cheap and pull the dash bulb for that portion of it all...

I still have to get the resistors though for almost everything else....damn

thanks again for the information
