Led Tail Lights Blowing Fuse - Toyota Tundra Forums : Tundra Solutions Forum

I just installed LED tail and turn lights fore and aft on my 2000 Tundra LTD.
Also changed stock flasher to one for LED applications (Salesman at V-LEDs.com
said this would work instead of splicing in load resistors.) Turn signals and brake
lights work great. HOWEVER, the tail light keeps blowing it's fuse. Anyone out there got a clue why?

It turns out that the Tundra needs SACK bulbs in the front turn signals.
I re-installed the old incandescent front turn signal bulbs and the system worked fine.
Then I replaced the front with SACK LED's from autolumination.com. No more blown fuses and LED's all around.
I still don't have a clue why front turn bulbs would blow tail light fuses
Heres the URL for more info: <http://autolumination.com/conversion.html>
I also can't comment on whether or not this would work on a corolla.
