Exclamation speedometer not working properly

Hi, I have an issue with my speedometer not working properly. The issue appeared after I installed My2012 headlight from sewell. I did not replace the flasher relay coz I think everything is working right.

This is how my car starts now.

Did you check it all out before you put the bumper cover back on? Install the relay, and make sure the large connections to the lights are connected completely. Sometimes they need a little shove.

all lights are working correctly. even the turn signal are working without the new relay. I wonder if the relay has something to do with this problem ?

Did you forget to plug back in your parking sensors?

The "AFS off" light will always blink, that's because the new headlights don't have the feature that helps you turn into the corners like the olds one do. You can open up your instrument cluster and put a piece of black tape over the light.

Sorry to post for the third time. It's all coming to be. You need to install the relay because if you don't then your turn signals will hyper-flash.

sure the dash lights are fine, but are they hyper-flashing outside of the car, though?

I don't think that there will be any difference, but I will check them. And I also ordered a new flasher hope it will solve the problem.

sometimes there is, indeed, a difference. i don't know about the isx50, although the alfa romeo i had in high school while in europe a few years back showed the dash lights as normal but the exterior lights as hyper-flashing.

I checked it from the outside, everything is working properly. will wait for the new flasher relay to come in and install it and see what happens. It may take a while for the order to come since I am not in the US.

Just make sure you order the flasher for the 2011+ IS w/ the LED daytime headlights

I don't know, but may it has something to do with a region specific Lexus model not being compatible with the newer lights (just a thought)...
