so on the LED headlight, which wire is the "low beam +12V wire"? and which wire is the "ground"?

Terminal 30 goes to your ignition power source, 85 goes to the low beam +12V wire, 86 goes to ground, 87 goes to the 50% power on the LED strip, and 87a goes to the 100% power on the LED strip.

This will have the LED's at 100% when the car is on with the headlight switch in position 0 or 1, they will drop to 50% if the headlights are turned on (low or high).

Quang, there are three wire from the leds dust cover, so the white wire is the ground, and the black is 50% power

I haven't look to that one yet, i was focus on to make the leds turn on when the car start, i just order the 5 terminals relay and will wire up like Jeff posted to see it really work? But it is very easy to find out, all you need the light tester and turn the low beam on and test all the wire from the wire harness of the headlights and you would find out the wire for low beam

There should be a relay that came with the headlights which slows it down to normal speeds.

Here is a pic of the turn singal relay.

The one you have in your car is most likely the green one which is stock which is for 6 bulbs; made in Japan.

The one you should of gotten is the one which is for 4 bulbs which is the one in dark brown; made in USA.

The very light brownish is the stock 4 bulb flasher for the 2011+ cars; made in Japan.

The turn signal flasher is easy to install. Getting there maybe a bit of a challenge. You need to remove the kick panel where the pedals are to get access. Then it will require you putting your head where your pedals are lying down and using your hands to reach the turn signal flasher which is up inside attached to a support thingy which is easy to remove.

Assuming you ordered from Sewell, they should of sent this to you. If not, tell them the turn signal relay was not included and need to have this. If it was from else where you need to go buy it from a Toyota/Lexus dealer or just order from Sewell separately.

The part number is 81980-06020 which is the USA one.
Japan one is 81980-30170 however it's not available in North America (it would say super superseded by US part#), however it is available outside since they will come in brand new cars from the factory. Probably cost savings so they had a US made one as well.

didn't you plan to hook up to the IG2 fuse? That's how I did for now. But I like the solution of being able to run100%|50% better, keep us posted

Thanks
