I wish it were so, but NEO is right, our cost to make the tail light isnt anywhere in that range. Unless we went to some factory in China / Taiwan and made 100s at a lesser quality than where it is now...

I don't want to lose the quality issue, reason why we don't mass produce them at a lower price. If I am spending my money on MY LEXUS, I am paying top dollar for quality parts... Our lights are OEM spec and not some aftermarket brand, plus we have NO condensation issues at all.

well, conspiracy theory here (eveil )

now if you see, most lexus models they have clear taillights. just now the ls430 got the clear tallights too. why the gs doesn't have it? maybe toyota has a deal with jp, where jp is the only company who can get the pre assembled parts from toyota and make the clear tailights, and they pay a loyalty to toyota

ok, i am bad

That reason alone is worth getting the JP vs. Brand X.
