I was just wondering who posted the pic of the lex with clear rear lights? It's called deared1.jpg I would like to find out where I can obtain this replacement. Thanks in advance.



PS Definitely a nice mod. Hot!

Default computer graphics

i think those clear inner tail lights in the pic are only simulated with computer graphics, they really aren't clear, just normal like everyone else, but who knows, they might actually sell clear inner lights somewhere :-)

guys:

I've found probably the best price for those clear tail lights!!

http://www.beverly-auto.co.jp/index.html

They sell the GS clear taillights for:
50,000 yen for new ones (402.64 USD)
25,000 yen for modifying existing ones (201.32 USD)

That's really good!!

I'm in the process of Emailing them to check if those prices are for a pair.

From the looks of that site....they also sell the mirrors with the turn signal lights...I have never e-mail a japanese site, so there should be someone there that will be able to read english correct?
I really would like the side lights without having a body shop work them on...

SO............ I guess what he was saying was that, they got a company here in LA, and we can go talk to them. The taillights are 520USD for a pair for clear ones.

Anyone else understand the mail?

Does 1400 include paint? Is that why he was asking for the color of your car?

Default too much !

I think $1400 is way too much for the side view mirror turn signals, even if its painted, and that doesn even include installation !

AltBrave said he had his done for around $650 I think

My friends shop has about 4 pairs are selling them for about $400.00 but you will need to give your stock one as well. If you are interested than reply to this post or email me at slgs4@yahoo.com for more info.
Just to let you all know I will be at the LA meeting and can bring them along if you want them.
