RE: know where the flasher is?
he's looking for the flasher relay, so he can delay it for LED's, but i dont think our cars have them, i'm pretty sure it is computer controlled, thats why ours dont click like most others.

Yes it is computer and relay controlled, it is part of the smart module asis all of the lighting system

RE: know where the flasher is?
There is no Flasher Unit as such its done by computer. To install LED Turn signal bulbs you will need to use the Load Resistors, you clamp them to Middle wire on front turn bulb fitting (if my memory is correct) and to black ground wire. When I did them needed to put a small piece of additional wire in splice tap to get them tight enough to make contact with power wire. Used superbrightlights.com 3 Watt Luxeon LEDs which are like little flash lights , tried stealth bulbs first but like these LEDs better they are a little brighter and different tint of amber light which stands out better .

RE: know where the flasher is?
Sorry about my absence, but thank you everyone for the help!!
I was afraid of that... I purchased some resistors just in case.I'm still curious tho; i called the dealership and they gave me 2 part numbers that are applicable to an 07, 5L5Z13350AA (blue, supposedly)and 5C3Z13350AA(black). I replaced my front lights with LED's since i have the clear lens', MUCH better. I also replaced my three rear brake lights. I really like the difference.Very clean

Load resistors will fool the SJB into thinking there is an incadescent bulb hooked
up so the bulb burnt out circuit is not activated. I dont like the Euro LED lights.[:@]
