Not sure about taking off the grille, because the other components are in the way which most likely need be removed as well.

No scratching! yikes!! Without seeing a picture of the behind side, I cannot say for sure what I felt but I think I may of in fact found it. Where I felt this thing, I did not find a wire in the exact same area, it was more like to the side somewhere off to the side away from the securing mechanism.

Default Replace turn signal bulbs with 7443 LED Switchbacks.

I just changed my turn signals with 7443 LED Switchbacks.
so now i have them on in white as the parking lights and then blink amber when turn signals are applied.

also instead of installing at resistor in each line, you can just replace the factory resistor with LED Compatible resistor.
(8-pin 12V Electronic LED Flasher Relay Fix for LED Turn Signal, Blinker Corner Light Bulbs for newly Lexus or Toyota vehicles)
Also had to change the plugs so the that it would supply power for the parking lights.
