Starting to replace all lighting with affordable LED. First location - front turn signal light, stock is yellow tint 1156A. Thinking about an ALLA # 1156 7506 in yellow. Will this require a resistor for hyper flash? Right now with stock lights it hyper-flashses if one turn light up front is out.

To run LED lights for the turn signals you have a few options. You can run a bulb that claims to have resistors built in (they don't really work), you can run an inline resistor, or you can replace the flasher relay with one designed for leds.
If you run the inline resistor the resistor will generate a lot of heat. There is a thread write up that explains how to run the led flasher relay but the condensed version is that you buy a relay for $10 on amazon, a 12 pin to 8 pin adapter from toyota, swap pin 10 to slot 11 in the harness, and buy whichever led bulbs you want in your turn signals and enjoy working turn signals without hyperflash.
i did all of that this morning on mg gx and i enjoy the results.

Now that's the data I was looking for. Thanks. And I think I'll try the led flasher relay as it doesn't butcher any factory wiring.
Has anyone here tried these bulbs? Amazon product ASIN B07XP8153Q
OP should go this route but only if they won’t tow anything.
Did the smart tap relay on both the 470 and 460 and worked like a charm. The 470 pin switch wasn’t hard to do and is a quick easy mod. The 460 I had to build my own wiring harness to get the smart tap relay to work.
