    I bought the 1156s and 1157 to upgrade a new set of factory taillights for my old Toyota pickup... man what a difference! The only downside was I had to add a little chamfer (~1mm) on all of them so they would fit. Out of the box, they could not go deep enough in the sockets. Not a big deal, whipped out the Dremel.

    ALL led replacement lights I've seen so far with internal resistors still require an rxternal resistor if LED lights are replaced on the front and rear. Do these Morimoto lights eliminate the hyper flash when installed on the front and rear of the vehicle?

      Yes they do! I’m trying them on a few others today also. I’ll film my findings and upload them. So far they have fixed my hyperflashing problem on my gmc and the Ford Bronco. A bulb like this should have been out years ago.

    Looking at these as a potential retrofit for an 1157 combined stop/tail bulb, but taillights can clearly be illuminated for longer than 30 minutes continuously while driving at night, albeit at a much lower intensity than when used for braking (1157 is a dual-filament bulb). Can these run at the lower taillight intensity for longer than 30 minutes without producing CANBUS issues (bulb-out warnings, cruise control disablement, etc.) ?

      This can also depend on engine noise, but some fans can be audible while in use if you're standing next to the headlights. You will not be able to hear them inside the cabin.

    'that just shattered'.... Oh, so its like Ram taillight, hey?
    Also, if you are going to test bulbs that are internally resisted for hyperflashing, you should probably disconnect the external resistor.....
    But honestly, these look awesome!

      @@Blue84Stang oh good! full disclosure that test there was done after I originally tested it. I hate making videos for the company without doing my own due diligence even if it’s a trusted brand like Morimoto. Funny thing is that’s actually a resistor from a chevy Morimoto xb housing. The 2021 gmc Sierra I have was really picky and continuously would hyperflash no matter what I installed. I can truthfully say it’s working well still. I made another video today of a 4 runner. No error codes and hyperflashing. It’s impressive. If I do have any issues with them I will post a video here. So far I’d recommend the bulb to my friends

      @@DrivenReality Like, there is a reason why I have no reservations about sending/pointing (sometimes pushing) people to Headlight Revolution. Chris and Yourself both seem to operate on the idea of 'level the playing field... use the same housing, on the same table, at the same distance, and see which one is ACTUALLY brighter'. No marketing bias, no gimmicks, just evidence. I didn't know about all the independent testing you do as well, but honestly, it shouldn't have been a surprise, in hindsight.
      Keep up what you are doing, it IS valued. Oh, and don't be afraid to yeet a few more bulbs or housings, its always entertaining to see/hear the reaction to it hitting the ground....😂😂

    Canbus/Blown Bulb sensing tech in cars have been around for YEARS. SO... WHY do LED car bulb makers NOT, AS STANDARD INCLUDE a 5 Ohm resistor in their bulbs!!! You CAN GET 'Canbus/error free' LED 501/T10 bulbs, so... WHY NOT 21W/5Ws, H4, H7 and all the others!!! It's BLOODY CRAZY that MOST LED bulbs you get you THEN HAVE TO ALSO buy, and install a 'Resistor kit'!!!! 😒

      It's almost not worth it if you have to rely on janky ass resistors that are usually never weatherproof despite their advertising.
      Hopefully more products like this come to market.

    I just wish morimoto's 3157 switchbacks would white/amber/white/amber instead of a lot other switchback bulbs out there that white/amber/off/amber/off/white! Lastfits(which lastfit's headlight bulbs=suxorZ) switchbacks(not the new one!) Do white/amber/white/amber/white. Which is what i want and looks best with ny rigs!
