Try flipping the turn signal bulb 180⁰. If not you need to get standard bulbs. Sometimes led's have such low power consumption the car thinks the bulb is out. You can buy a resistor and wire them in (1 for each bulb). They get HOT so be careful where you mount them.
My 1998 ES300 also had this window tint issue. I think it was the factory tint. Got it replaced about 8 years ago with an aftermarket tint. Difference was night and day! Still holds up great!
7:32 You see those aren’t regular clips where you pop them off, you first take off the middle part with a screw driver because those screw off, then you clip them off.
Most led retrofits will cause hyper flash on older vehicles designed for incandescent bulbs. Those silverstars you bought were definitely incandescent because of the filament. Light Emitting Diodes make like from a little circuit semi-conductor piece.
My windows would also fog like crazy in the morning all I did was coat the outside with rain x spray and it helped a lot just use windshield wiper once and it drips away
i genuinely enjoy watching cam especially after work. He’s just like me, almost like I’m watching a buddy I already know. Great content cam even if it’s you working on the daily or getting v a cheeseburger lol
That’s literally how that back window looks- cloudy and terrible! Glad the tint is gone because it was actually dangerous to drive with that visibility. On a good note, that Frenchie was adorable! I also love Charlie’s haircut!
The blinkers don’t work because you don’t have a resistor on each blinker as well as most led only work one way so you may have to take bulbs out and spin it around but it may still hyper-flash as well as those are just halogen super white bulbs not LED
Those headlights were halogens but you really wouldn't want LED headlights anyway, if the housings aren't projector style, like your type R or Si, they can scatter the light poorly and you end up blinding all oncoming traffic. Remember kids, don't put super bright LED lights in reflector housings
I actually love removing window tint. You need the Conair or other steamer and use distilled water. Once you know how to do it, its super easy. It does take 1/2 hour though for whole car. Back glasses can be tricky because the defroster damages the tint and makes it break up into pieces
The led turn signals actually have to go in a certain way, contrary to the regular halogen bulbs which work both ways. If they don't work, flip them and see. Also, they might not work or blink too fast, which is due to them consuming less power and the car thinking they are out. You can buy car led resistors at some stores or online that solve that problem.
when u install LEDs in ur turn signal they tend to cause hyper flash because they're so efficient and don't have much load. I dunno if they improved on them now but i remember you used to have to install a resistor in line.
Yeah I had to put resistors on my led blinkers to get them to stop hyper flashing .Had my after market led taillights for like 2 1/2years on my civic and now I have to get resistors for them because they started to hyper flash 🙄. I'm with you with the frustration of some installs, sometimes I have left over bolts and I'm like fudge it! Viv looks great! Awesome vid man!
My z comes with halogen standard turn signal bulbs. I upgraded to an LED with resistor built in to prevent hyper flash. They are finicky and the prongs need to be kinda tweaked with to hold the bulb in properly or else it slides right out. Hope that helps
Can you post the links to your radio and sound set up?! I just picked up a 99 es300, and I wanna upgrade the radio! Also, where are you stationed? I'm at Fort Carson Colorado
Well, I just ripped through your channel to watch all of these ES videos and then saw this one. Sad to see it go so soon! Really would have loved more content from this car.
I need to get all my tint removed so I can get ceramic Tint.. dumb 1st owner put reg stuff on it like u never use reg stuff when tinting windows bc ur doing it to keep the heat out ND to help with light.. ceramic or nothing!
@@Camhill182 of course! found your channel when I got my civic in 2020 and been following ever since. Now got a Kona N! Would recommend test driving one if you ever get the chance!

Thanks man
@@Camhill182why the he'll are you selling the lexus there such reliable and low maintenance
Let me just tell you cam is one hell of a guy. 100% authentic and cool. Thanks for the exhaust buddy.
I hope you enjoy it! Send me some sound clips once you get it on
I agree with you I was there! Im the lexus. (This is me after Cameron polished me 👁👄👁)

The es300 had a factory Lexus gold tint that doesn't do that
Me waiting for Cameron singing in his videos. Never ends up unsatisfied. 10/10 !
Bro you're so wholesome. Love the vibes, love the cars, love the singing lol keep it going brotha
i like that you refer to your viewers as brothers or “bros” lol i love being one of the bros

When done polishing you should spray them with clear model paint. It will lock in the polished finish.

interesting! good to know
Lights look way better, 👍.Viv saying “at least you dont have to carry the baby -__-“ took me out 😂, love your content dude.
Baby shampoo is your best friend when removing tint
Isopropyl alcohol also does pretty good but can fade interior bits that it touches.
Wow didn’t know u were in the tampa area I swear I’ve seen u before makes sense now
Window tint isn't tough at all.. use a steamer and one of those razor blade scrapers 👍

You need resistors for those turn signals, so they don't hyper flash like that

Silver stars are halogen bulbs
Hey cam look into a product call “plexus” it protects plexiglass from us yellowing great for head lights tail lights.
Removing tint is easy.....all u need is windex some shop towels and a razor....

Saw you’re selling stuff for the type r, are you selling the old engine cover?
get new windshield??
Wow Cam, you did an amazing job on those headlights!!
Thanks Steve
Can you tell me what you did or replace to turn off the Check Engine Light / Trac Off Light on your Lexus es300?
I guess progress is progress even if it’s just a little bit at a time.
You selling the Lex? I maybe interested.
I am. $4200
“I’m on my WAYYYY” 😂
You might have to replace the sockets themselves and not just the bulbs.
Hopefully the rear defroster grid lines still work after peeling the tint off.
What happened to the carbon fiber hood vent you once had on your Type R?
I never had that
@@Camhill182 sorry, thought I saw you unbox and install one. Guess not!

Vivian says hi!
Can wait to watch you try and juggle the new baby, wife, job and TH-cam. Thanks for sharing.
If your ever in Maine let me run my k24a2 swapped 05 EM2 against that Type R
Deep cut but that tint looks like Ryan plantes neon..

Your Singing is top notch 😂
have funnnn boiii
Well I don't think you need to be told this because I assume you know. You need to put a sing-a-long Cam Hill video soon.
I’ll put a song at the end of my next video

1. Idk
2. I’m nowhere near good enough
he needs to do a music video, he's actually a decent singer
