Default 2011 headlight hyper flashing blinkers issue

I have a 07 IS350, recently I upgraded my headlights to the updated OEM versions, and I have been getting the hyper blinker issue inside (green arrows) and outside from the headlights and the tails. I already swapped my low beams/signal bulbs out, but it's still doing the same thing and I'm unsure what the cause is. Does the change require a resistor or a fuse swap?

Thanks for all the replies and helping me out.

*PROBLEM SOLVED, RELAY FIXED THE HYPER FLASHING*

usually when this happens it means the flasher relay is bad... but it only starting after the headlights were swapped is a little suspicious. Did you put any led replacement bulbs in? or standard incandescent?

do you upgrade the +11" signal relay fuse block too? I did the MY12 headlights upgrade on my 07" IS350 and I did swap out the turn signal relay block under the steering wheel, that must to take care the hyper flash

I swapped the low beams/blinker bulbs from my old headlight to the new one only.

Didn't try upgrading my fuse relay block. Do you think I would need to replace the entire block itself or just a single fuse replacement for the headlights?

I'll try it out thanks, if it doesn't work I'm probably going to see if I can rewire my headlights with the thread above that was linked to me. Thanks!

To provide some additional info..... I did a swap with the 13 headlights on my 08. You only need to replace the flasher relay under the driver side dash, nothing more. Here's a post on part numbers and its actual location: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...ml#post7184143
