there are two clips on that brown cover, i think to be able to use two thumbs to unclip the cover you'll need to remove the lower trim where the green light sits to clear your other shoulder. it's a tight squeeze in there. i thought it only had one so I'll try again tom when i have more time.

I guess this can be done to the brake light too. Anyone tried it?


sorry I didn't search... been doing search all day long looking for info on how to replace the front signal light with led.

You mean the brake light failure indicator? Not sure if theres a fix out there for that yet, but you can just pull the bulb if it bothers you that much.

So you want to replace your signal bulb with an led bulb?

I already replaced almost all my bulbs with LED. They have relays for 16 bux I don't know if it's a better solution or different solution to adding capacitors.

If it's the same solution, then I'd rather solder it myself than pay 16 bux.

although I'd prefer the variable blinking rate.

As for the brake light warning...maybe something can be done on the relay itself rather than increasing the resitance on the line. Correct me on anything, except for grammar I'll be reviewing it soon.

You may have the problem that OLT explained on post #2 of this thread.

has no one heard of these?

http://www.eautoworks.com/product-Led-33226.htm

They're made for when you upgrade to LED's. They make the car think there is a 1156 or 1157 bulb. I have them on my tails and no hyper blink. best part is if you wire them in with the harness for the tail and you switch your tails again, you don't have to modify your flasher depending on which tails you put in.

do a little searching. i've seen them as cheap as $5.

Does anyone know how to access the kick panel? Do you have to remove the whole carpet at the bottom? This seems like a lot of work to get to a fuse box.

To access the flasher unit, you do not need to remove any carpeting. Just stick your head under there and you should see the beige/tan colored box.

The easiest way to fix all the problems is to take 3 bulbs from the original tail lights. Then just splice them into the new wiring harness. Then make a Plexiglas case so the bulbs float in air. Then just put the box into the spare tire well and cover it up with the lexus floor mat. Use removable spade adapters so that you can disconnect the bulbs incase you need to remove the tail lights and your done.
