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

Can anyone tell me if the 2016 ES350 has LED turn signal bulbs or not..I have BI LED headlights and LED taillights

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?

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.
