Default LED turn signals

Hey guys, I am about to place an order for the NX350H with luxury package in Canada. I just found that today that the front turn signals are incandescent bulbs. Any suggestions on compatible LED bulbs and is it relatively easily to replace? Thanks

I just installed a set from iJDM. I’ve used there bulbs before in in ES.

I will attach a picture, which doesn’t show too much difference. The LED in the picture is on the drivers side. The video will show a bigger difference.

Super easy to access. My ES is a pain and almost impossible in the front.

Smile not sure in Canada but \in USA triple beam headlights get LED turn signals

Not sure in Canada but \in USA triple beam headlights get LED turn signals. Can you order a package with triple beam headlights? If so that includes LED turn signals in USA

Good luck.

YMMV,

Thank you! The package with the triple beam LED in my opinion cost too much in Canada. It's not available as a standalone option.

Amazing. So would you say it's worth while to swap out the bulbs to LED? Some reviews say it's too bright

Trying to upload a short video. Won’t upload.
I would say they are brighter but not that much. (Video uploaded)

I have an older version of these in my ES rear turn signals and they are a little brighter than the incandescent but not blinding or an issue.

To me, they can be seen and noticed more so than the incandescent bulbs because of the instant on/off.

The ones in my ES are over 3 years old now.

That's a huge difference as seen in your video. I will definitely swap to LED once I get my car. Appreciate it

Is this a straight swap?
You don't need to install load resistors do you?

These particular bulbs have built-in resistors.

No issues to date with these bulbs.

If poster #2 is referring to the 2019+ ES front turn signal replacement, I know what you mean. You'll nearly cut your hands to pieces doing it from the hood. Pro tip: don't do it from the hood. Do it from the wheel liner, reach in, pull out. A bit of a pain but not too bad. Not like you're doing it every month. Lexus seems to be recycling the electrical system on their TNGA models and doing their MO of ONE set of turn signals = LED and the other set incandescent so it's either the FRONT or REAR that gets LEDs depending on model. In a nut shell, cost cutting. I believe the 2018+ Camry is reversed. Rear incandescent, front LED.

It's time to get w/ the program, Lexus, of having full LED.

Default Big difference!

Way brighter than stock! You can see the LED is more on and off blinker vs. a pulsing blinker. Also it gives the headlight a clear corner aesthetic since you don’t have an amber bulb in the housing. Overall love the look!

Just a follow up on these bulbs I installed.

There have been no issues at all.

Personally I want my turn signals visible. The incandescent bulbs are not visible enough. The bulbs are deeply recessed in the housing which limits the light.

There are cars/trucks with just as bright, if not brighter turn signals.

They look great!
