You can definitely use the quick splices that are included with the Tekonsha 4-Pole 60" Long Vehicle End # 18002 that you referenced, but butt connectors secured by electrical tape would provide much more of a secure installation on your 2007 Lexus RX 350.
I recommend using Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connectors # DW05743-5 for 22-18 Gauge Wire because they are much more secure and will last longer than standard butt connectors like part # 05730-5.
