GS451h

I love my 2008 GS 450h... but I have never been a fan of the tail lights which look a little bit too "Chevy Malibu" for my liking...
Has anyone bought and installed the aftermarket tail lights from VIP MOTO? Specifically the "Red Ones"?

How is the fit? How do they look? Any photos on the car with the lights off in the daylight?

Are you referring to these taillights,
There are a lot of photos on the 78works instagram feed.

Wow Those are nice!

They seem to come in 4 colors (based on my Japanese translation)
Red Clear
Red Smoke ( Rosso burgundy?)
Sinister Black and
Black Smoke

Any ideas on an English speaking website that sells the Red Clear ones?

I really like these taillights! If we could just find where to buy them.

The "Black" ones like in the youtube clip above are easy to find on ebay... they go for about $350 for a set
You can also find "smoke" ones on the 'bay too... similar price... look like those with a smoked "black out" lense
The Rosso Burgundy ones are called "Smoke Red" can also be found on the bay... Like the backout ones with a red tint... Kinda like a 1980's trans-am

Of course the ones that look most stock... The "Clear Red" are sold out everywhere...

If there is a vendor reading this... make those! I will buy a set...

Is this what the OP is looking for? I can't find any other taillights but these. I would love to get my hands on the clear red but they are hard to come by.

Sorry for the confusion! I would like the most stock looking ones. I was just looking at that video to get an idea of the 360. I'll have to go through that user's IG feed to see some more pictures.

you can buy the 78 works tail lights + headlights at rhdjapan.com, i have dm'd 78 works to see how we can purchase their stuff in the USA and they linked me to that page. hope that helps!

Nice. Looks to be about $450 before tax/shipping in the US.

Did anyone manage to upgrade to these tail lights? More specifically, did anyone link up with the site in Japan for the more stock-looking lens? I’d like to know how much of the light bar is dedicated to the brake light? There seems to be no available video online of these things in action. Just one highly stylized fluff video on YouTube.

I like the stock tail lights they got that old school Toyota style

Seen 2 in the last few months on the road, they’re really nice but the LED’s are not bright at all, not even close to the brightness of the OEM LED’s when the brakes are on and at night.

I've seen a few in the DFW area. All black housing. I'll have to find a picture I took while at a stop light. The red lens is hard to come by.

I found a picture that I took a while back.
