Just curious if anyone has used this flasher fix from VLED to correct hyper flashing of the LED turn signals on their RX. I believe you can plug this into the IS and it will correct the issue without having to install the load resistors. More of a "plug and play" solution.
I don't what resistors MEP used for his LED blinkers. There's a picture of them in the last post here. I think he got them off eBay. There's always a question of quality going that route though. And from what he said, you might have some difficulty with the rear bulbs. I remember the space is pretty tight. VLEDs should be fine. I have many of their bulbs but went with chrome blinker bulbs instead to avoid adding resistors. They're truly 'plug and play.'

Agree with chrome blinker bulbs as most attractive solution and probably (IANAL) satisfies US DOT and state laws.
Been a long while since I last posted.
2013 RX 350, how to add this feature to give 3 blinks or more with partial movement of turn signal lever.
Thank you.

I would like to have this feature too. Don't know how.
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.
Please post some info on the flasher relay install. I've had one sitting here with my led signal bulbs for a year but haven't had time to install them due to 2 kids under 3 years of age lol

Like most Toyotas and Subarus, the 350 uses the same flasher relay.
The relay is easy to get to, but difficult to remove. There is very little room to place your fingers. You will need to remove the bottom plastic covering off the steering column, turn on the hazards and follow the "clicks"
OK, done. Wasn't as hard as I feared. Completed the task "almost" without any tools.
Step #1: Pop away the right side of the panel under the POWER button. There's just 3 clips holding this side in. I grabbed underneath with right hand and in beside the steering column with left hand and gently popped out the bottom clip, then reached up and popped out the two top clips. The panel is flexible enough to work in this area without having to remove the left side of the panel, just gently bend it back out of the way.

Step #2: The flasher is just up underneath the dash. Turn the hazards on and you can quick hear/feel the flasher. Detach the wiring harness. The flasher is mounted using a white clip inserted in a metal hole. I just grabbed the entire flasher and wiggled it out of the hole mount.

Step 3: The tap turn flasher I used was identical to the original in appearance. Remove the white mounting clip from the old flasher and put on the new flasher. This is the only time I needed a tool. For the life of me, I could not figure out what keeps this clip on. I had to screwdriver it for a few minutes. Even after getting it off I still could not tell how it clips on, but when I put it on the new flasher there was a satisfying click that it was in place.

Step 4: Push the new flasher back into the mounting hole and reconnect the wiring harness. Test flasher, pop panel back in place.

Step 5: Program cool options. I turned the strobe options on for the signal lights, Here's a video link shows hazards in strobe mode, hazards in strobe wigwam mode, and signal indicator in strobe mode.
