Have you noticed any problem like this?
Yep, still have them and loving them. They are very bright and work really well. I've only noticed the hyperflash twice and it was on the hottest day of the year and me sitting at a red light for greater than 5 minutes. All I had to do was click the turn signal stick to off, then back to the turn signal and it went right back to normal, not a big deal

LED Tail Light Turn Signals

I wanted to upgrade my weak incandescent OEM turn signal bulbs on my 18 ORP to LED. For the rear bulbs I got the amber 7440/7441 LASFIT LED bulbs based on forum member recommendations here. 7440 W21W CAN-BUS Anti Hyper Flash LED Turn Signal Lights, Amber Yellow - Lasfit Auto Lighting

Trying to install them from inside the trunk, I realized that there’s not enough slack in the harness to orient and insert the much longer LED bulb into the taillight housing. So I had to remove the whole taillight assembly for easier access to the bulb and socket. I spent a small amount of time searching the forum for guidance and realized that after removing the the 10mm nuts and the tailgate connector from the inside, behind the access cover, you have to pull off the taillight from the outside.

I started with the passenger side. I had to find a little fingerhold on the inside hatch edge (left) side of the housing and a pressure fit with my palm on the (right) outside edge. Using a lot of force to break it free pulling straight outward, no twisting or turning, it released with a loud pop. There are two tabs that hold it in place on the passenger side; one is a metal bulb-like tab, the other is a rectangular plastic tab that rotates. When you re-install the taillight assembly you need to orient that plastic tab just right. Plus there’s a small circular channel that fits over a white button on the external side of the fender.

On the driver side there are two metal tabs, no plastic rectangular tab.

The LED bulb installs easily now. Line up the taillight housing and temporarily plug in the white connector to test the LED for the correct polarity by turning on the 4way emergency flashers. Now you can see the difference and how bright the LEDs are.

Line up the tabs, push the housing into place, install the two nuts, and enjoy your super bright rear turn signals.

Note: The LASFIT website describes the possibility of hyperflash if the flashers are On for a long time. To test this I left the hazard flashers On for over 10 minute on a 90F+ day and they did not hyperflash. Although they did get into a shortened flash mode. That is, a shortened flash On time. Normally they blink On for 0.5 seconds, Off for 0.5 seconds. After several minutes of continuous blinking operation they continue to blink but the On time is only about 0.2 seconds. Apparently there’s a thermal fusing function that turns off the LEDs if they get too hot.

So far I’m pretty pleased with their function. They are amazingly bright. I pity the fool who is behind me at night in the left turn lane with my flasher on!

Ouch. Yeah, access is awful there.

I also replaced the front turn signal bulbs with the 7443/7444 ambers as suggested by @97BlackAckCL . Getting access to those bulbs is not hard but you have to remove fender liner screws and reach way up to get to them. Just follow the directions in the 4R user manual.

They also are extremely bright.

Beware of "toyota's DNA collectors" while changing your rear blinkers if you do not remove your rear headlight housings... is what toyota should put in their manual...lol.

You really didn't need to take your light out. Just disconnect the wire, install the bulb, and the connect the wire back. Took me less than 1 minute to install them each.

electroboy is just pointing out it might be easier to remove the housing.

I installed mine without removing the housing also.

Aha. That’s a good idea. I actually started to do that on one but stopped because I was afraid my fat fingers would drop the bulb into the light housing.

Just installed the Lasfit LED turn signal light. Jesus they’re bright. No hyper flash just as promised. Not the cheapest things but they work great. Also bought their reverse bulbs. Again, super bright

I too got them installed, unfortunately they do not ship to Canada so I went to LA to pick them up when I was on vacation.

Side by side comparison to incandescent.

Oh yeah. They light up instantly and are so bright that I wonder if there is a vehicle lighting equipment law being violated.

BTW, what’s up with companies not shipping to Canada? Don’t they just have to charge you more money to cover the duties and taxes?

You'd assume that it was pretty simple to ship something as small as the lights within North America. Maybe just a hassle to deal with shipping because of the duties?

total understatement of the year, I love how everything is reflected in the rear view mirror as amber.

When my friends saw them, the first thing he said was "that can't be legal"...lol
