I did not mount the resistors for the rear signals. The space was tight enough to wedge the resistor in and not flop around.

Alright just wanted to confirm cause I don't have them mounted either. I know for some cars if you install a resistor to the rear you don't need one fir the front is that also the case with Lexus?

Thanks for taking the time to post this. I installed the same units in mine yesterday and am really pleased with the result. I did the rear and may order another set for the front signals in the future.

Anyone try to install this one? Looks like it doesn't have the extra decoder box, but doesn't hyper flash or send error codes either.

So do the resistors that come with this kit get hot, or is it a decoder box to eliminate hyper flash? If it's the first then I wouldn't mount them in the trunk. They could get super hot and melt the trunk lining or even cause a fire. If it's just a decoder then no need to worry. I have the v3 tritons and they have actual resistors so to avoid any fires I place two resistors in the engine bay mounted to metal with high heat 3m tape. FYI if anyone does opt for the V3's you only need one set of resistors to eliminate hyper flash for both the front and back sets..

There are a couple of reviews on their website and both people mention that they still had a problem with hyper-flash. Plus, they also mentioned that these bulbs are LONG. So much so, that they might be too far away from the reflectors. Just a FYI.
