    So the puddle lights in the doors, vanity lights and map lights are all 194 and would be T10, correct? (194 is halogen 4.9w, 168 is halogen 3.8w and a T10 is the same format in canbus)
    The dome is DE3022/DE3175.
    What are the puddle lights in the mirrors, still 194s halogen?

    Cool. I might do the mirrors too.
    Not sure on ‘19 and earlier, but on my ‘20, the mirror lights turn on gradually as you approach the car. Cool feature, I like it.

    Doing the puddle lights in the mirrors isn't bad, just have some beer before trying. That's how I overcame my hesitation on taking mine apart.
    If you're going to take your mirrors apart I suggest doing sequential turn signals at the same time. They're a nice mod.

    I think Lasfit LED turn leds don't have this problem. (no personal experience though. Only saw on Youtube)

    Use Canbus LEDs. I believe that’s what the LasFits are.

    Lol no. 4Runners do not have CANBUS systems controlling the lights. The reason they are flashing is because LED bulbs use less current than incandescent ones. This puts less load on the circuit, which trips the relay on and off quicker as if you had a dead bulb. Certain LED bulbs have extra resistors built in to make them more similar to incandescent in terms of amperage. It's a lot of extra stuff to account for, when you can just use normal bulbs.

    I know everyone's all hot to trot to have the brightest LED bulbs they can squeeze into their interior, but remember that interior lights are designed to be a bit dim. This is so they don't dazzle your eyes every time you open the door or turn a map light on when it's pitch black outside.

    One thing I want to add about the LASFITs is that the 168 194 led will not fit the front map light. I tried and the base is too thick. Will post pics when I open it up again with bulbs that do fit.

    The T10s are thick and a tough fit in most of the sockets in the truck. I got them in including the map lights but it was a PITA. Don’t even attempt the mirror puddle lights. My neighbors got a show that afternoon. Again, they’re in but they were a PITA.
    The bulbs do look great tho.

    the LASFITs for the rear turn signals, switch backs for the front, reverse lights and DRLs work great. no more hyper flash issues. ran a test a left the signal blinking for over 2 mins and no issues at all or hyper flash.

    Yes very good brand. Have their H11 low beams 9005 High beams, backup and door lights which were easy to install. Didnt want to force the map lights so I bought Alla. Lets see if they are easier. The connector looks similar to the stock bulb.
