Depends on what you like as what others said...
If you are a music lover and spend a lot of time in your car, go for the Vais Tech.
If you care about the looks, then go for the tails. Afterall, people can't see your Vais Tech. I think the eBay tails doesn't look bad (the one OP posted). It's better than slapping on the Altezza ones.

Theres actually a thread where someone is comparing IS-F tails and the EBAY LEDs and the majority of them in there were saying the Ebay ones looked better.
MOST ebay tail lights look cheap. They are usually manufactured in China using cheap materials. If someone had a picture of both next to each other, you can really see the difference. My advice would be to skip the tails (the LED's will probably die or it will let water in sooner or later) and get the Vaistech.

Deegee thanks alot man, great info. I think i'll go with the vaistech.
Anyways i was referring to when i plug my ipod in using the AUX cable versus the VML kit. Im sure the VML must sound 10 times better then the AUX cable right? lol
Also I have the OEM tails with redouts, which look good to me already, but i thought the LEDs might be better. I wish you lived closer i would take a look and maybe trade you lol. Which part of texas? Im in okc all the time and we occasionally take trips to dallas.

the Vais DOES make my Ipod sound louder then the radio, but really I can't say it makes it sound better cause I don't listen to my ipod outside my Lexus...
Personally I think the Ebay tails look cheap as hell, they look pretty cool at night cause the LED's n stuff... but during the day they look like Lexus Altezzas TBH... I wish I could go back OEM if anyones willing to trade!!!

^ Great point Digital makes, like i said the LED looks kinda cool at night but personally during the day they look kinda after market and cheap... I've yet to have any issues with water or fading, I've had them on since Nov.2010.
I live in SA, TX which i think is like 3 hours away from Dallas...
Although aside from the aesthetics my BIGGEST complain was the wiring harness that they came with needed to be modified slightly to fit the OEM harnesses... I've read in some threads on CL that lexus has two different OEM tail light harnesses which may be the reason some people said that these pluged right in without mods, and others had to mod the ebay sockets to fit oem harnesses...
PS what color is your ride?

If you are connecting your iPod to the car's AUX port via the headphone jack (as opposed to a dock connector) there will be a big difference in quality (assuming your MP3s are high bitrate of course). If you have Mark Levinson, the difference is even more pronounced because the sound is digital all the way to the amp in that case.

Ok, I think i'll go with the vaistech. I was a little worried about the instl since everyone said its the biggest B**** to take out those upper vents.
My car is crystal white btw
