This OEM relay was removed from the spot right above the brake pedal. Did I take the wrong one out? Any Ideas? I haven't had a change to go back and look yet, but I'm pretty sure I removed the correct one. I have a 2009, dose it make any difference?

Yes, you removed the wrong one. As that is not the flasher.. Put the "Stop Lamp Relay" back ASAP...!!!!

Them remove the right one that sights towards your right leg....

OHHHHHHH Crap!!!!

OK, at least I made it this far. The mod was a PITA, but I sure learned a lot working on my car for the 1st time (i.e., bumper removal and all)...lol. Geees, that balast removal was the worst. That video you made Joe, made it looked deceiving too easy....lol.

What's the fastest way to remove the flasher? I've spent about 30 mins trying to remove it but I'm having a hard time just unclipping the old flasher.

Move the seat all the way forward, use a flathead screwdriver, a nice bright LED flashlight, and definitely get some work goggles, you will get debris in your eye, ask me how i know

U sure its the right one? I don't think it should take 30 minutes as I just yank mines out. look for any clips. I forgot what I did but I think I moved plastic cover under the steering wheel to have better access to the relay.

Hey guys, new here as you can tell hehe

but I've got a 2011 IS350 and I've got the diode dynamics relay coming on the way, all the way to Melbourne Australia

Now before I get it, im trying to suss out how to install it and where it goes... I work well with images and visualisation... But I don't see any instructions or images of where it is and what needs to be done
