Default LED Turn Signals

Has anyone changed out their turn signal bulbs for LED bulbs? I just bought my second set (first set didn't fit in the housing) and it came with a "canceller". Not only is the thing bulky, but there's no where to put it for the rear turn signal lights. Needless to say the Ebay sale was beyond mis-leading.... I read that you can buy a new relay that will take care of the bulb out indicator & hyper flash - that way you can buy any kind of LED bulb.

Has anyone done this upgrade and been successful? If so, what'd you do and where'd you get the LED bulbs?

I've read there are flashers that can be used with LED's which don't need some sort of resistor type device, but I tried finding info or parts on it for a Lexus and got no where.

I have LED's in the read and there is a small box. It barely fits in there and gets a bit hot, so I'm not all that confortable with it.

I got my front LED turn signals from iJDMToy.com. Here's a link to the actual ones i purchased. They do have a small control box for them, but i was able to double side tape it off to the side in the engine bay out of sight. They are the brightest ones that i've tested. I went through quite a few sets from ebay and other various vendors, but these were the brightest out of them all. Plus side is that i didn't have to crimp or splice any of the factory wires.

Here's a link to my instagram with a short video of them.

For my rear turn signals, i had some 7440 amber leds and resistors from my old car, so i ended up just using those. I plan on doing the iJDMtoy ones soon. Just have bigger projects i need to spend money on right now.
