Just to be clear, Hazards are blinking at normal rate as indicated by the video. R/L turn signal blink twice as fast. After a few days I checked my OBDII app and it pulled fault code B1507. Maybe Flash5 can verify that his R/L turn signals are blinking at the same rate as his hazards.

Hmmm my L/R blink at the same rate as my hazards. I’ll take a video tonight of that too to confirm if I have time.
EDIT: I also hooked up my OBDII the other day to look at my boost readings and I had no codes come up.

Will see if it takes all 4 corners to not hyperblink.

Results will vary and are unknown.
iJDMTOY's bulbs might work:
21W version: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071VTS4WS...537675216&sr=1


24W version: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074RLJMWQ...537675216&sr=2


Another set of random bulbs:
There's a 2010 IS250 in the reviews section with a video of it working perfect.
https://www.amazon.com/SiriusLED-res...ustomerReviews


Or I might decide to gamble on eBay...
It’s so weird that only the 18’ gets no hyperblink they must have changed something.

I was trying to buy these on Amazon but Amazon said they wouldn't fit my 18 IS350? Is that true?

Isn't there an '18 out there that comes with LED front and rear turn signal bulbs? Maybe the Canadian car? I thought I had read that. If there is, why not just order the OEM bulbs?

Bulb sizes are standard; there is no such thing as not fitting if you buy the correct size. Amazons fitment check is garbage don’t listen to it.
None of the 18’s that I’m aware of come with LED turn signals. Why pay Lexus a bunch of money for an LED bulb that you can get from another company for $50 or less anyways?

I bought these and it says they don’t fit but they do because they are the right size for our car. That’s why Amazon is annoying when it comes to the fitment check.

Lexus will try to get Lexus quality. I didn't actually mean get them from Lexus, just whomever Lexus uses, that way you know they work.

For a bulb, it’s not that serious haha. Just buy a good brand (Diode Dynamics, Philips, etc). Diode Dynamics offers a 3 year warranty on their bulbs and are well known for their quality. I went with the brand I shared only because I didn’t want to buy the most expensive bulb and wanted to try a new brand. So far so good with the JDMASTARs.

Seems only the 2018’s can run LED’s without resistors, otherwise you’ll get hyperblink.

Which is partly why I thought I had read that some markets actually got LED's for the 18 MY. Guess not though.

My 2016 is350 didn't have a problem using LEDs. Had to do it in pairs though. 2 leds on front and no hyperblink, if I installed 3 it hyperblinks. All 4 corners and no hyperblink. Got mine on ebay for $12.49/pair. https://www.ebay.com/itm/2-No-Resist...72.m2749.l2649
