Default Quick Signal Flasher Installation: Help

I just purchased a quick flasher control box to install on the xB.
The instructions say to remove the stock relay (3 plug).
It also stated to connect the appropriate wires to the positive power source, light source, as well as the ground.

I am not sure how to do this on the xB as the relay isnt a 3 plug setup.

Ive heard this kit had been installed on another xB, but would cost me 60 bucks to have them do it. And so I want to do it myself and saved myself the cash...

it is called the "Quick Flash Display Kit" part number SPW 10.20.11
formerly called the Runabout part number RUN10.20.11

Any help would be appreciated!!

Thanks

how many wires/terminals are on the new unit? $60 to install a relay is a rip off.

It draws attention...

It makes the blinker flash faster, simulating the look of having a bulb burned out. Perfect for the officer looking for some reason to pull you over... That's the only conclusion I come to.

Sorry for the comments. Most likely the relay is somewhere else...and not right where the signal lights are? That's why there are only two wires? I don't know...but that could be it.

Hey Randy!

Hope you guys are doing well out there at your new house!!

btw heres a pic of the flasher...

it has 3 wires from the unit:

Red: connects to the incoming car + power source

Blue: connects to the plug on the light source wire

Black: connects to ground

*I removed the stock Denso Flasher and the flasher itself has about 8 prongs coming out...

Thanks for any help!

Here is the FREE and easy way to make your scion have "hyper blinkers" I did it to mine and it has been fine since September.

Take out your front blinker bulb and cut the white wire and then cap it off dont hook it back up to anything and wa-la instant tweeker blinker.
