i cant get alongside the square/box led light up pattern with those inner tails. drives me nuts, just does not look right on the back of a lexus at all..

those tails dont look bad but they would look a lot nicer if you got the ones with the thinner lower section..this company makes them they also have the smoked but i couldnt find the pic

Running the same setup. Your gonna get alot of compliments. Sonar LED's are the way to go. The clear section is a bit fatter, but worth it since they put out a grip of light. Your car looks 3 years newer.

Also, I think the Sonar LED's have better quality than the thinner LED taillights posted above.

He was confusing the hell out of me. I asked him what kind of taillights he has, and he posted the all clear LEDs at first, then he told me has the smoked ones, I sent him a PM asking if it's this (with an eBay taillight pic w/ the thin bottom attached), and he told me they were Sonar... So they were Sonar brand...

The one SADDLE got would be the only brand LED I would get. I don't like the fatter bottom part either but the rest of eBay LED light output seems to be not that great compared to Sonar's.

I agree, the LEDs with the thinner bottom section DO look better but, I'm very happy with the results from these. The light output is great.

Yes the bumper kills me everytime I look at it. Unfortunately the previous owner was a woman who obviously didn't know how to parallel park! Hopefully this summer it will be replaced with a veilside rear bumper.

I think that's the only thing keeping me away from buying those LED tails. The squarish look totally looks out of place for me

They really go great with your car. I think a black chrome trunk bar and grill would compliment everything nicely.
