Adding this to the list of subtle mods that make the vehicle look better and perform better (Safety in this case). I'll be coming back here when its time. Just need a good reason to pull the bumper, because as of right now, this isn't it just by itself.

Well... I messed up in the video. Turns out you don't have to pull the bumper. You can access these bulbs via the wheel well liner. It wouldn't have made an interesting video, but it would have been a ton easier.

On the bright side you didn't scratch your arms up reaching in there.

Can anyone confirm that we need Standard and not CK sockets?

Not CK Bulbs - Toyota does not use CK Bulbs (that I'm aware of)

That's a great question! I had forgotten all about CK Bulbs!!! CK Bulbs have the same base, but the grounds and positive lines are in different positions. If these had been the wrong type, the ground would have shorted out the circuit and blown the fuse. I know that Chevrolet and Chrysler use 7444NA - which is a CK Bulb. However, the 4Runner does not use CK Bulbs.
Also, I can confirm that these are the correct bulbs for the 4Runner front turn signals as I used these in the video...

There’s also some type of built-in thermal switch that opens up to protect the resistors in this case (they are physically small and can only dissipate so much heat even with aluminum heat sinking). When that happens you will hyperflash but when turning off the blinkers for a short time, maybe 30 seconds, the switch resets and all is well. I’ve had mine over a year and the only time I could get them to hyperflash was by leaving the emergency flashers on for about 20 minutes.

If they are switchbacks, would they also overheat from just being on for an extended period of time? Or is the white led not driven so hard?

I don’t know, but this statement is on their site for the switchbacks. It probably pertains to 4Runners also. I wouldn’t use them. It’s just for show for other drivers, who cares?
“ This product doesn't fit Honda Pilot. And will hyper flash on Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2016-2017 Toyota RAV4, 2020 Toyota Tacoma, 2018-2019 Toyota Tundra, 2018-2019 Crosstrek, 2019 Forester. Please don't buy this product if you want to replace the turn signal for these vehicle.”

This probably has to do with the depth of the bulb in the housing for those vehicles. These bulbs are significantly taller than the incandescent bulbs... but the 4Runner has gobs of room in the housing.

I bought las fit turn signal bulbs with the built in resistors and the drivers side went dead after 1 week !! I’m glad I didn’t convert everything to las fit led. I bought for the rears and didn’t even open them and returned them.

That happens sometimes to consumer electronic parts. Unless you want to pay for X-ray inspection, post-manufacturing test, component burn-in, environmental test, temperature cycling, and post environmental test like the military does to weed out weak parts, you’re gonna occasionally get some failures.
LASFIT has a 1 year replacement guarantee. Use it.
