I bought the 08 on purpose instead of going for the 09 which they had on the lots when I purchased. I hate the stupid changes they have made to the 09's.

I think the 09-10 tails have more character, and I like the "L" for Lexus backup lights. I think if the LEDs were an option for 2006-2010, Ill guarantee you that most will pick LEDs over standard bulbs just because they are more modern and makes the car different from your basic honda to hyundai's.

All ISX50 and IS F tails are LED minus turn and back-up lights.

Why did they put only 6 LED's on the new tail lights? It makes them look cheap, more LED's = more expensive.

New ones are freakin' hideous. I'd change them out for some 06'-08's with the quickness.

nah, I havent seen it yet. It gives it a nice distinct look with them clear. You can try it though, so we can see how it looks.:-)

And what would the purpose of that be?

If you red out the reverse lights, people won't know when you are backing up!!
