Mine do that as well, I figured that was normal operation. My previous Tacoma did the same thing.
I just decided to use the Tazer JL and enable the LED turns... Here's what they look like now in sync with my Quake LED Halo lights...Just look through the thread pages here as 2k2wranglerx has several video's and other comments around the product... I even have some spots for advice on how to do a few things like pulling one of the flaps out and leaving halogen wiring in place to reuse for later if needed plus it allows you to reuse the current fasteners for new wiring... So basically if you look through all of these you should have a great idea on how to install... The main thing is you will need something to pry out fasteners (trim tool kit), rivet tool for one rivet on fender and a cutter to remove rivet, and then mainly 8 & 10 mm sockets, ratchet / power tool, extensions. The rest is take your time and have patience... I left the fenders on and using all of the info from the threads here & was able to install both in roughly 1 - 2 hours... I did use the 3m 2 sided tape when reinstalling the new lights as per the video instructions from 2k2wranglerx... I attached some pictures of tools used and please note you could prob improvise on trim tool but i recommend using proper tools for job:
To be honest the most difficult items for this is:
1> removing the flap that drops down (with fender attached) behind the lights as shown in his video... I removed a bolt in the engine housing instead of popping the fender clips...
2> disconnecting the wire harness from the connector as it can be a tight space depending on how much of the plastic fender liner you move out of the way...
I have also included a picture to show location points for getting the fender panel removed:
Orange -- items use a trim tool to remove --> 4 items
Purple -- use trim tool to pry up then a wire cutter or snip tool to cut off rivet as this need to be removed in order to get bracket out that hold in light later. -- 1 rivet
Yellow -- 10mm socket and if you don't want to use a ratchet you can use a power drill by turning the wheels each direction to gain clear access to bolts with socket adapter just remember when installing again to use ratchet to fully tighten -- 4 bolts
Blue -- 8mm socket and same as above a power drill can be used with adapter -- 1 item
White -- this is really a push pin expander that has a phillips head... I put trim tool under it to pry a bit while just removing screw a few turns before popping it out
What color wire on the morimoto’s did you tap for the turn signal on your quakes?I just decided to use the Tazer JL and enable the LED turns... Here's what they look like now in sync with my Quake LED Halo lights...
I decided it's just easier to drop the entire wheel well liner as you just have to remove all of the additional items in yellow in attached photos... I didn't want to take a chance to remove fender and break the clips as it's just easier to drop the liner and put back together using new rivets...
Also, the red arrows shows where i zip stripped the wiring harness to the original wiring that was there which allowed me to tuck the control box up and out of the way in the fender... In the last 2 pictures it shows how much easier it is to get to the connector for the lights when the whole wheel liner is dropped...

DCBlake - My new Morimoto DRL/Turn signals are on their way. After reading through all of the posts, it looks to me like it's easiest to drop the entire wheel well liner to do the change (as you suggest). One question - do you know what size plastic rivets I will need to reinstall the liner - I take it they get destroyed when removing the liner. Do you just drill them out, or is there another way to remove them?
DCBlake - Awesome writeup. Thanks so much for taking the time to produce this - your efforts are very much appreciated. Now off to Harbor Freight to get my rivets and rivet gun.I have uploaded just the rivet sizes and somewhat of a comprehensive install PDF file
Glad it will help. If you have questions just let us know.
Have you cleared the sickness yet?? Lol I want my sequential turn signals
