hey guys welcome back to the channel if you saw my videos recently on the is 300 i went ahead
and changed my light bulbs on my turn signals to led when i did my lighting retrofit the problem
when i did that is my flasher is hyper flashing now so today i'm going to be putting in an led
flasher relay you saw one of my videos recently i upgraded the flasher relay on my is250 to one of
those adjustable ones with tap to turn so i have the led relay that i've been using on that car
for four years i'm gonna go ahead and repurpose it on the is-300 since they use the same exact relay
stay to the end of the video we're gonna go ahead and install these new balsa high beam
9005 bulbs i got for the is-300 these bulbs are rated for 3 600 lumens each totaling 7
200 lumens as a comparison to the halogens on the car the halogens are rated for 1700 lumens each
65 watts and they only last like 380 hours with leds these things should last up to 50 000 hours
you'll never use these high beams for 50 000 hours on any car so these come with a little
heat sink on the back that hangs out of the headlight and it actually has a fan inside
to keep these things cool while they're running in addition the plugs are kind of a universal
as far as fitting for 9005 you can flip them either way depending on how your vehicle is wired
some cars may have the ground on the other side you actually have to flip them around for the led
because they're polarized so you have to have a positive and negative correctly so on the is 300
or the one is the flasher relay is behind this panel here and it's not exactly easy to get to
it's actually behind the fuse block so you got to take this whole panel apart then get behind
there and unbolt the fuse block get to the back of it to get the relay and pop it out
once we take those two 10 millimeter bolts out you just kind of tuck this
thing and slide it over and the red relay right here is your turn signal relay so we
just go ahead and pop that thing out and slide the new one in and we should be good over here
so popping that i was a little bit tricky with these two tabs on the side here you just got to
be able to wedge it out get a little screwdriver and pry both sides out and then slide it out
be careful with these little metal things right here not to scratch up your hands like
i did right here but other than that that should be good we'll go ahead and test it
now we got the car started we'll go ahead it's blinking normally now with the leds
on some of these led relays you'll notice a little delay towards the beginning when you
first click it i've been using this relay for four years on my 2is and
i've been dealing with that so i'm kind of used to it
so now we got to reinstall everything it's going to be a reverse of the removal
you can see on the is-300 we have plenty of room to get to the 9005 high beams right here on the
side with the intake over here on this side it's a little bit tighter but you
can still get to it pretty easily right in front of the ecu housing right here
so i had to switch that around my first shot it was the wrong
polarity so we've got it back in and it works perfectly fine now
you guys look inside with the orientation of the bulb on the is-300 is supposed to be
at an angle like that i noticed it on the halogens that they actually come in at an
angle and they're not vertical or horizontal like most lights one more thing to note too
is on my eyes 300 i actually have my drls disabled so if you have drls these high beams may not work
for you you need some kind of cancellation thing or a resistor to get it to work properly to
disable the drl on the is-300 you basically have to remove the little pack that's right
here it's a resistor pack and it plugs into this plug right here so i just have it sitting there
in addition there is a drl relay right here also that i still have in place because i think
it still does some stuff but the resistor pack is what really turns those things on
this is the high beam right now with the halogen that's the halogen hotspot right there
all right these are the led high beams right now and we're in the same spot
we're hitting on the high beam spot 15 to 1600 lumens right
there compared to the thousand or so that we were getting on the halogens
or 2000 right there
so yeah we're getting double the output on those high beams versus the halogen hey guys i want
to thank you for watching this quick video on installing that flasher relay on the is300 as you
can see they put it in a pretty tricky location but if you know where it's at it's pretty easy to
get to and install if you guys haven't subscribed to your channel yet to stay on top of all my
different videos on the is 300 the is-250 the sienna or stuff around the house in the garage go
ahead and subscribe to your channel turn on bell notifications to stay notified every time i upload
a video remember guys for all these different projects if i can do it you can do it i want
to thank you for watching all the way to the end of the video and i'll talk to you guys next time
you
