I dont really like the tail light cover. Looks kind of cheap in my opinion. If I were to change my tailights I would get these.

LOL. One time I had this guy in a civic with altezzas on it roll up to me and give me a look like "You stole those lights from my car" It was pretty funny.

Ive always wondered why they call them euro lights too.

APC is recalling all of the "euro" lights.

They dont really explain why but maybe because they are not DOT approved.

LOL...okay, I'm finished mutilating the GS.

Black_IS300, i really like those tail lights, where did you get those? I assume that is a whole new taillight...

It goes great with the color of your car!

Actually I dont have them on my car, that was just a pic of them.. but that is what it would look like on my car. Yes they are a whole new tailight and it is actually a JDM toyota part. They dont sell them in the US so you have to get them from japan. will probably get them eventually... They are around $1,000!

Woah, Black_IS300, that would be a lot of money for tailights. Even though they look great, i wouldn't spend that much. Plus, I really like the stock IS, altezza, style lights anyway - even though it is being copied. I would be flattered really. Leuxs IS has the original, stock chromed tailights - as does the '01 RX!

Those black lights are cool but soon CIVICs will have those too because the black housing ones and the carbon fiber housing ones are recently released also. Man, they just never stop!

Here's an ad for a company that sells them (plus some Aristo/GS inner lights)...and lights for a Y32Cima (which we don't get here...but we get the Y33 Cima which is a 97-2001 Q45)

JPY49,800 = US$400...I dont' know if that's for each or a pair...

That should be price for a pair. People in Japan don't say a pair, they say a set which is 2.

WOW the GS tail lens have clear and smoke! wonder what smoke will look like.

Default Everyone is ripping off Lexus

Saw this on Speedvision last night: the new BMW 318 (i thingk) have the kind of rear lights that we can find on our IS.
