Was thinking of using this since this is the same light that I used for our RX 350 back up light

For me, it did not require Canbus for the back up lights.

What do you guys recommend for turn signals? I opened up the front wells today and saw that I have like zero room to work with in terms of splicing in a load resistor without taking the car apart. Thanks.

Quick question on mounting the resistors for the front turn signals. I haven't gone in there yet, but is there a good metal area I can zip the resistors to? Everyone seems all worried about the heat the resistors put off and I want to make sure and not melt to anything.
