I'm questioning between smoked or the black ones....I think the black ones look more crisp whereas the smoked ones would go great with smoked front headlights...both colors only best with dark colored ISx50

I have a smokey grey so it'll look great no matter what :-D

What I don't truly get is these CL ppl saying it looks ghetto...I mean ghetto would be stick on racing stripes or a glue on blower etc etc etc

This is a look Lexus already carries on it's product line, mazdas have them, hondas and acuras have them, even europeans cars are having them, land rovers have them, etc etc

So my question is...when did new age OEM tailights become ghetto? I mean hate as you will...to each his own..but that's like calling a white guy a negro......it absolutely makes no sense.....

Not sure what this smoked lenses business is - But - for CLEAR LENS tails, these blacked out ones look waaaay better than those chorme ones!

But as you know, those aren't OEM, those are aftermarket. Nobody said clear tail lights are ghetto in general, they're talking about this specific aftermarket tail light, and specifically on the IS.

"Ghetto" can come in all sizes, shapes and colors. You can be rich and still "ghetto". Cars are not excluded.

Then your terminology of a ghetto is incorrect.

1. (n.) an impoverished, neglected, or otherwise disadvantaged residential area of a city, usually troubled by a disproportionately large amount of crime
2. (adj.) urban; of or relating to (inner) city life
3. (adj.) poor; of or relating to the poor life
4. (adj.) jury-rigged, improvised, or home-made (usually with extremely cheap or sub-standard components), yet still deserving of an odd sense of respect from ghetto dwellers and non-ghetto dwellers alike

They may not be oem for the isx50 but they are sure oem for other makes and models, so by implying this style is ghetto implies that any car or suv (rx models included) are ghetto
