their tail light leds are the best, and so is the turn signal relay, simple to install and the hyperflashing is gone.….. in ‘MUD’s Small Business Storefront has everything you need.![]()
ODD IRON OFF ROAD …. ALL THINGS LED LIGHTING +
A friend has fabricated a LED dome light kit that is designed for both the 60 and 70 Series. (Shown here in a 70 Series) As you can see the light is a massive improvement over the OEM version. Updated Product Information...... Kits are available for the 40 & 45 Series, the 60-62 Series, the...forum.ih8mud.com

I have the Digi-tail light panels for my rear lights. They worked great and no problem with blinker relay. They are very bright!I think a couple here on Mud use the Digi-Tails tail light panels. I've been planning to go with these when I pull apart my assemblies to clean them, put brighter reverse light LEDs in and put LEDs in the front turn signals.

This - I should have known as it did it to my other car. Now I have a 2000-like civic type of turn signal. Not a good look.superbrightleds.com
Or your LAPS. Common 1156 and 1157 bulbs are easy to find LED replacements. I recommend not changing your turn signals because it necessitates adding a resistor to the flasher circuit. Just not worth it. LED reverse lights are wonderful. Be sure to get the colored bulbs to match the lens.
Imported to Australia? Might be an added cost for them to get them down there.I wonder why these are listed for $204 while the 12V ones direct from Digi-Tails are still listed for $149.
Do I need this OEM Flasher if I use the Digitails LED lights? Or in your professional opinion are the SuperBrights the way to go. Thanks for the help!@jimi5Stone as Chase mentioned above, I take the original OEM flasher units and modify them to work with LEDs. The bulbs flash nice and slow, but within DOT specs. It’s plug & play. Nothing dangling down, no zip ties. I’ve done electronics repair by trade and the circuit board and components that Toyota used are very high quality stuff. The relay is beefy as hell. I’ve ordered some of the Amazon LED flasher units just to check them out and they’re … not great. Low-tolerance, low-spec components, and tons of flux left all over the PC boards which will eventually eat away at them or become conductive, or both. And no, the modification I’m doing is not cutting out a resistor or adding one - both work but put far more current load on the transistors than I’d like to see, at least from a longevity perspective. I traced the circuit and actually make appropriate modifications that don’t stress the other components.
For bulbs, I really like SuperBrightLEDs. They’ve lasted longer than anything else I’ve tried (still running them), and they have options for mellower, warmer white bulbs that look more original to the truck’s age. For a given bulb they have lots of options for different lumen brightness too.
I am not sure if the digitails have something built in to accommodate a stock flasher or not. Does their documentation mention the need for an aftermarket LED flasher module?Do I need this OEM Flasher if I use the Digitails LED lights?

Awesome Do you have the bulb numbers from SuperBright for what's need to do everything in the rear? I have one of your flasher units in my cart. Thanks!I am not sure if the digitails have something built in to accommodate a stock flasher or not. Does their documentation mention the need for an aftermarket LED flasher module?
Personally I don't like the look of a grid of tiny LEDs, hence I went with LEDs in the shape of regular bulbs. No issues with the SuperBrightLEDs products thus far and I've been using them in a few vehicles over the course of the last five years. I don't know if the Digitails have any kind of noticeable failure rate, but I haven't heard of them. That would be something to look into. Otherwise it's a matter of taste!
