Default Wish i had small hands

So i changed out the turn signal blinker for an adjustable one. But man was it tight. Why in the hell did they make it so difficult to change. Not having big hands will probably help🤗🤗

Adjustable turn signal relay

Ummm... what was the point of this mod...?

Suspect they didn't make it easy, as they never expected it to be a maintenance or repair issue... the part would last the life of the car (30-40yrs, 500k miles). Toyota/Lexus design ease in to parts that are expected to require maintenance.

Yet if you do stuff like this, you'll acquire a drawer of long-reach tools. Needle-nose pliers, remote twist/push/pull, etc. Working on those parts is like working with da Vinci surgery, with all those tools.

Then again... do a timing belt on a 5S or 4A transverse engine... daily pain, and use of 1/4" tools...

The signals will hyper-flash when going to LED's if you don't get a flasher relay that will work for them.

Doesn't someone make a turn signal LED that's compatible with the 7440 (or whatever number the bulb requires)?

"Compatible" to me means plug-and-play... take out the old incandescent bulb, and plub in an LED bulb.
