They have a different bulb that has a built-in resistor and not an external box-

"The wire is used to connect to decoder in order to bypass the on board computer check. These LED bulbs not only will be completely error free, but also resolve the hyper flash issue. Here is a YouTube video showing you how to install this product, please take a look. Remember the wire connects to the decoder is very thin, so twist slowly and gently."

I have the bulbs in the link currently installed in my 2008 LS460 front turn signals, no decoders, etc. and no hyperflashing. I just bought another 2 sets to replace the front and rear turn signals in our 2016 NX200t. Will update again when they come in

No the LED's I linked do not come with decoders and do not need them. The description you reference above is from the FAQ section and for some reason is for another bulb and not related to this particular LED bulb. The Youtube vid is not the bulb I am talking about

I bought a bulb from ijdmtoy before, and it was advertised as "no resistor required"... but when it arrived, there was something they called a "driver" that had to be installed as well. I don't know why LED's need "drivers" or "ballasts" but I reckon it IS a resistor, but just calling it something else just so they can claim "no resistor required"...

They also called it a "decoder" to resolve hyperflash issues. How do you "decode" something when its only connection to the car is through a +ve and -ve wire? Sigh...

But in this case it is just a resistor packaged nicely for plug-and-play.
That being said, these "drivers" run much cooler than the metal resistors that you need to splice in and is 100% reversible. The only issue with us is that there in no space in the light housing to put these things (apparently, as I haven't opened mine yet).

I e-mail IJDMTOY and this is what they said:
Now the shipping to Australia is crazy expensive, it starts at around US$30 just for shipping.
My other concern is if these bulbs will fit as the representative from IJDMTOY said they are longer.
1Putt, when you get these, please do reply back. I would love to get these for my NX.
Dear customer,
Thank you for contacting iJDMTOY.
We do have a LED light T20 with a built in resistor you can check it out at, http://store.ijdmtoy.com/No-Resistor...0-02x-cree.htm
This LED bulb (3.25" or 3.1") is two times longer than the stock bulb. In order to install this LED bulb, please make sure you measure your turn signal lamp housing as it needs to be deep enough with enough clearance space in the back.
We do offer shipping to Australia, once you have fill out your shipping information at the check out you will receive different shipping method and shipping rates.

In the referenced link, there are two bulbs (3156 andr 7440). The first one is 3.25" long and the second is 3.1" long. Which bulb is for the NX?

Since I've removed the rear turn signal exoskeleton assembly twice already, I can do it in my sleep. I'm tempted to remove it again to measure the clearance. If these LEDs will fit, I'll am seriously considering buying them.

Is 3.1 inches (7.8 something centimetres) the entire length of the bulb including the base? I am assuming they are measuring the whole LED bulb from top to bottom and not just the top bit.
I tried looking in the reflector. It looks like there might be enough clearance, but there is a black plastic which I can't be sure of.
I'm sure these work, they guys have tried it on their IS350 for a year and they work completely fine.

OK fellas, I finally installed the iJDMtoy led bulbs (w/ built in resistor). It fits in the housing no problem depth-wise. These things are some serious honkers
All is fine so far, no hyperflashing. Not that I was expecting any. Looks great and very strong light emission
Worth the buy. See one of my earlier posts for the website link to the bulb
