Default LED Question

I want to replace my exterior bulbs with leds. To fix my turn signal from blinking to fast and bulb out light I want to get a led flasher. Which one of these flasher do I need to get? Also, where would I find and/or what is it labeled as to replace the old one with this new flasher.

I personally would just get the V-LED's LED Load Resistors. They are very easy, require no cutting or splicing and they work perfect. The LED flashers sometimes disable able flashing when locking/unlocking the car.

I have them in virtually every exterior light and couldn't be happier. I can help you with anything regarding lighting!

If I were to put LED's on all the exterior lights, would I need to put a load resistor on every light I switch out or just the turn signals? How do I know what ohm and wattage I need? If an any of LED lights went out can I put the regular bulb back in with the load resistor still installed.

You would need them on the turn signals. If your particular Lexus Model Gives "Bulb Out" warnings than you would need them on the taillights too. Otherwise you wouldn't. These are the ones you'd want for the Lexus:

Yes the regular bulbs would still work! However if you go with the Platinum VLED's series than you'll never go back.
