no, a lot of cars have the lights up at the top of rear windshield. ls460 is a great example already, and a lot of other examples out there

Here's a better view ...




i really like this mod. something different, but gives homage to the LS line, IMO (good thing). maybe its the nitpicky side of me, but from the picture, it looks like its slightly towards the driver side. if you look at where the heated window lines are, i think it would look more central if the fifth light was directly in line with the middle heating line. currently it looks like its just a few millimeters off.
I know this is an old thread, but is it just me or can you see inside the headliner after this mod? Looks like you can from this pic.

How's the glare in the back window when it's on? I know my tl had some hella glare when the third break light was lit. Kind of looks to be the same by looking at your pictures.

You're absolutely right, but trust me it isn't visible unless you're right on top of the car like I was. Now that I have a light (15%) tint, it isn't even visible from that angle anymore.

You can see a red glow when it comes on at night, but no more than my wife's '11 RX350. Barely noticeable and definitely doesn't hinder visibility. Nothing at all during the day.
