something tells me that some where there is one Lexus executive who worked on this es reading this forum and biting his nails thinking that we wont discus this issue so that they have a way of "screwing" us over when in 2 years they do a face left for the es and add the LEDs after we buy this one and price of this model drop signifigatly in the 2nd hand market

I was also very surprised to see that the new ES and Camry being otherwise stellar and technologically advanced models over their predecessors do not feature LED tails. Now the Camry Hybrid does have LED tails, go figure.

If you are referring to the rear taillight turn signals, then yes you would need flasher relays to prevent hyper-flashing.

Thanks for the info.
I was surprised to hear that the LEDs shine less than the halogens.
Lexus should have really went LED all around ... for such a 'premium' brand and the extra $0.02 it would have cost them.

Lol I hope you realize he complained about this almost 16 years ago!!
Looking back the 07-09 ES LEDS were horrible. Idk who was responsible for those horrible Orange accent leds, and the led same leds in the glovebox and console which didn’t light anything up. The only thing worse was the leds in the front overhead console!! Sheesh atleast they did a great job with the 2010 refresh they ironed out many little annoyances.

I have the 07 es 350 ultra premium and I have to admit the interior lighting is pretty bad. But the headlights are really good. Especially with the adaptive lights that point in the direction you're turning. Those are HIDs everything else exterior is halogen and can simply be swapped with LED bulbs. I have started changing the lights to led
