Yeah, just go get an "electronic flasher relay"
They are like $8-15 at your local parts store. If they have a listing for a LS400 flasher, they can usually just cross-reference it over with the correct electronic unit from the same vendor.
Just have to pull the driver kick panel and unbolt the fuse panel as the relay is on the back side(for my 96 at least) and is easily found by flipping on a signal and feeling the flasher click.
FYI, electronic flashers do not click as loudly if at all so you will probably find yourself driving with the signal on once in a while after you first replace it!

i was successful in making my own fix on my honda by changing a resistor within the signal relay itself. actually i placed a potentiometer (variable resistor) instead so i can actually change the flash rate on the fly. it can vary from super slow, normal, strobe, to basically on haha. i'll see if i can figure it out on the toyota relay.

The snow is crazy man. I live a few miles down from Eskridge. I would be too scared to drive in that stuff. My cars all have summer tires on them and I don't have my winter beater at home so I'm trapped at home untilit clears up.

agreed though i didn't know they make them for LS400s. i know they make them for newer lexus models such as the 2nd gen IS.

Lead Lap
picked up schnitz's old car. Few pics i took of it.
Got some piano black B pillar covers in the mail today, so will be swapping those out asap. Will be tinting the windows darker too.
2 goals for this car:
keep is a clean adn mint looking as possible.
make it even quieter than it is on the freeway, ultimate comfort.
Looking into tiing the air bag pressure into an adjustable damping controller, to have automatic high and low speed settings. Not sure how it will all work, but Ill figure a way.
