Just wondering what you guys have been charged. I have a 21 Rubi on the way with halogen lights and was told I need to get it “flashed” to have led fenders work. I’m not sure if there are other options that can also be “flashed” aside from lighting features. Thanks.

Anywhere from $0 —if your dealer is nice— to $200 —if they are greedy.

Or you can get a Tazer Mini for $329 to activate the LEDs, the halos, DRLs, deactivate ESS, recalibrate your speedometer after you get larger tires, and dozens more other functions.

Here are all the functions:

will I be able to plug the tazer in myself and have no issues?

also, just to make sure, it doesn’t void the warranty

Yes it is very easy to use.

The warranty is a wildcard. It shouldn't affect it, but it will depend on your dealer. If they want to be jerks they will use anything as a pretext to deny warranty work.

I’m shopping around to see if I can get one under $300

The JScan app can do it for less than a $100. Download the app for free and look in the demo mode for an idea of what all it can do.
