Doing the 07 install on an 05 with all LED's (turn and reverse) since the signal socket was butchered to the point of uselessness on the OEM assemblies. (Rear ended at some point apparently...) I have everything installed, looks good. Except the hyper flash.

I have seen the thread where they modded the relay (I cannot, not enough experience with circuit boards, or I would), the one where they argued over the guy who didn't want to use resistors from the company, and the Tacoma forum where they modded the relay in a slightly different way, also beyond my ability, and nothing on top4runners was pertinent to my questions.

So, before you say LMGTFY, I have, and I understand the 'theory' on the resistors, one side positive split, one side negative split, one resistor for each LED. You side tap them in each circuit essentially adding load to the circuit to avoid the hyper flash.

Here's my questions:

1: Does anyone have a wire diagram of the 05 tail light harness (truck side) or 07 tail light pig tail, so I can identify the signal and ground. I can't tell which wire goes to which light, because as we know, we don't have a harness from each light, just pop in sockets linked to one harness. Knowing which wire is which will prevent me from guessing. My other option is to buy a multi-meter, and that shouldn't be needed for something so many surely already know. This will also let me pick the best spots on the wiring to tap into. I have plenty of diagrams to the reverse that inconveniently leave the tail and signals out, so I can see which is which. Plus diagrams don't say what color the wiring is.


2: Barring that, does anyone have pictures of their resistor connections so I can learn? As of right now, I plan to mount the resistors using M6 screws and nuts to the interior aluminum separating the interior trim and external body with thermal grease to maximize heat transfer to the body work, and keep it (and heat) from hitting any wiring or the fuel line on the drivers side. seeing where I need to split into the current wiring set up will influence its placement.

3: Do the DTRL LED's (not yet installed) need to be a specific type of LED for constant use? I haven't seen info one way or the other.

4: Do the DTRL's need a resistor placed in once for each function? I am reading that they need to be combined, but I'm not sure I understand in what way, and I want to avoid an electrical gremlin being born from this.

Again, sorry to resurrect a dead thread, but I didn't want to be linked back into something I'd already read, and wanted to show I was googling for an answer, but not finding it.

Thanks in advance, I am close to being done, just need clarification on splice points.
