I put amber LED bulbs, in my TLX and they look red when flashing. The housing of the TLX is really thick the amber doesn’t shine through.
I personally use OXILAM and stand by their brand. I installed these on my TLX and didn’t need resistors. I’ve left my turn signals on for 10mins+ in 100 degree weather and never experienced hyper flash.
Nice, congrats!
I'm in the same boat as you with both of those issues. I'm definitely going to swap the fuse. Those DRLs are a bit too bright to stay on for too long. I'll try 15.
I got these bulbs from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Q8RZRZV?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share. They're not a great fit, but they're good enough for now. They weren't very secure in the sockets, but I drove around yesterday and went over some speed bumps, etc. and they were fine. I'm definitely going to get a different one before going off road.
I read on some other forums that you can make a 7440 work in a 7440NA socket by shaving down the base a little bit. I'm still trying to find the right replacement, so if you find a good LED that works, let me know!
Load balance for the VA, OR use resistors. I wanted the full LED effect, so I went for the balance. I did not want to add resistors to my trunk. Unbalanced was a rave party style hyper flash. Front is super easy to access, anyway.
I have the LED head unit up front, so it was a simple pop out and in from the trunk this round.

I'm sure you've been asked this already, but how's the LED turn signal bulbs? I'm highly interested in getting the ones you linked.

If you have it, have you had any hyper flashing since owning it?
Thanks!
I got the OXILAMS from Amazon. The fit in the base isn't great though. I had one of the bulbs pop out, but I'm not sure if it's because of the bulb or the socket.

They are also insanely bright. I certainly like bright lighting, but these are almost obnoxious bright. I can't look at them when I unlock my truck.
I'm going to try to find some that are a happy medium between these and the incandescent bulbs.
I swapped out my turn signals with These. They’re super bright, and don’t cause a rapid flash.

Am now in the process of getting the Eibach coils and a set of 16" wheels with 255/70 AT3 Toyo tires. And lastly, the R4 ladder.
