Yes - I do get a bulb out notice which is simply a flash that is too fast... the reason the video did not show this is because I was using the hazard setting so that I could do it with the car off... It flashes roughly twice as fast as normal, and while I'm starting to get annoyed with it on the rare occasion that I actually notice it, I like the way it looks... so I'll deal.

I don't really like it. I would put in the Philips Silvervisions.

It looks just like many other OEM red turn signals. I have it and I like it.

Sorry if I spoil the exitement, but red turn lights IMHO in general is a nonsense made to save few cents on the cost of the cars. In bright sunlight or if you are not driving right behind such car in traffic a moment of confusion could cause big trouble....

Does anyone know the EXACT location (with a tip on how to) for the flasher module in our cars? I have the printout from the parts department which places the relay behind the instrument cluster, but I am unsure how to access it (side of dash, under dash), etc. and how to release it... anybody have an idea?

I have a replacement module to apparently fix the fast flash without load relays, and would like to report back... please advise, thanks!

So - I replaced my flasher today with the replacement flasher from V-Leds for Lexus... It works well, sans two things: No flash of hazards when the vehicle is off and no flash of signals when the alarm is armed.... strange, but I am going to email V-Leds and see if they can modify the relay... I will ship them my OEM flasher for testing. :-D

It was a challenge... I had the dealer printout a diagram for me... it's up under the dash behind the instrument cluster... It took my whole fore-arm up there, after I dropped the bottom of the dash for access... NOT EASY!
