Also look on Amazon for other brands that may have built in resistors

Sorry about the shipping costs, they're calculated based on the rate that the postal carriers give us and they do get kind of steep, especially when they have to go over the pond. What do you guys think if we had a small discount code for ClubLexus members?

Discounts are always good!

Since I've promoted for you guys, can it be retroactive to when I bought these? LOL!

Check in the ES subforum, or go to the Sylvania website and use the automotive bulbs guide

What's the easiest way to remove the headlight housing? I've used painters tape and tried tucking on it as hard as I can and it still won't come off. The tape would also tear apart no matter how hard I pull. Any suggestions or help?

I got really wide electrical tape. Try to nudge the taillight assembly side to side which should help. It's pretty hard to get off, be patient and good luck!

Are you referring to the headlights or the taillights? If taillights, I used reinforced packing tape—as well as a heavy duty dowel—as shown in my step-by-step instructions on replacing the rear bulbs with LEDs.

Are you sure they don't hyper flash? When I installed the same exact bulbs, the hazards seems to function normally. When the car is on and the turn signals are on, all of my turn signals start hyper flashing. I have the triple beam headlights and all of my lights are led expect the turn signals.

It is my understanding that all NXs have LED headlights, not just the ones with triple-beam. I know mine are LED and I don't have triple-beam.

The reverse lights are not LED, nor are the sun visor vanity lights. I've replaced the vanity lights with LED bulbs and they make a nice difference! My next goal is to replace the reversing bulbs.

@NXOwner Did you install a resistor when you installed your led turn signal bulbs? If so, how did you install the resistors and where did you mount them?

If you use the LEDs from my thread on DIY: How to Convert Rear Turn Signal Bulbs to LED (w/video & pics), the LEDs have built-in resistance to avoid hyper-flashing.
