I was intrigued by the second post about the upgrade flasher from autowindow, so I ordered one. Probably will be next week before I get it and who knows when I'll have a chance to install, but when I do I'll try to post some experience information.
Sort of unrelated, however there are other LED only relays that work w LED's however I've heard that the LED's do not flash when locking/unlocking the car. CUrious to know if you have installed LED bulbs in your turn signals and if so, do your blinkers work when locking/unlocking?

Just standard bulbs currently. The info says it works with both aftermarket LEDs or standard bulbs without any other mods, just plug and play but I can't say for certain aftermarket LEDs do indeed work as advertised. With standard bulbs, all the normal features work the same, except where enhanced by the new programming capabilities. For example, using the remote lock/unlock or using the power gate buttons still causes the indicator lights to flash, but I have programmed them to do a strobed double flash instead.
FYI for anyone changing the rear amber turn signal to LED. I just replaced my 2013 RX with V3 Triton and I did not get any hyper blinking so I did not have to install a new flasher relay.

So the front signalamp with rear LED adds up to enough load to maintain normal blinker operation?
(An additional incandescent 1136 lamp in the light bar with the OEM front and rear lamps also continues normal operation.)
Yes it seems to be the case. I have another set so when i have more time I'll try the front too. I've had them for a year and finally got around to installing a pair

When the front LEDs are installed the total load may not be enough for the regular turn signal blinker to operate normally.
Just to let everyone know. The TapTurn will work on the 2013 RX350. I just put one on mine and it works perfectly. Thanks Droid13, the pictures really helped. If you want to remove the whole trim panel, the following U-tube video will help. I'm not sure its necessary but I did.
Awesome video! thanks for going through that for all of us!! I just upgraded all my exterior lights to LED and needed to replace the flasher for the decreased load on the front and rear flashers. VLEDS is a great place to purchase all the bulbs!
