Question Best Clear Bumper Lights??

With all the different brands of clear bumper lights for the GS, which is best for fitment, look, style, and of course the best shop to buy from?

Thanx in advance for the various pics, and information.

They're all pretty much the same thing.

eBay has millions of them. IS's and GS's have the same bumper lights so search "iS300 clear" or "is300 bumper" and you'll be swamped with choices.

I was having that trouble...and I own a shop. Anyways, the best ones that I've gotten that don't leak are the ones from Procarshop.com...heck, they were cheaper than my own dealer price.

The higher the kelvin the bluer the light gets. Kelvin is a light tempeture. So for example 6k would be blueish white, 8k would be blueish purple, 10k would be a much brighter blue. Too much blue is bad because your eyes get fatigued in high color tempetures like 10k, the best would be between 6k and 8k.
