Default Altezza Lights?

Hey, I'm looking around for a website(s) that may carry euro/altezza lights to enhance the back look of the Lexus (not really liking the solid red look and prefer more closely to clear). Is there any sites someone could possibly point me to or is it simply too new of a model that they haven't release one yet for 2014s? In before "check eBay", already did and no luck. Any help is greatly appreciated.

You could always "bake" your headlights and carefully remove the red inside leaving it clear!

While I mostly agree with the sentiment, you do know the IS300 came with Altezza lights stock? Which were introduced by Toyota/Lexus....

Yup and that is the only car (Toyota Altezza / Lexus is300) that should have "altezzas" on them. Any other car with them just look off or cheap-ifies the car.

I actually thought of that but I rather not chance it and possibly damage it. I'll just wait it out until there is a possible altezza brand for my model.

Not even close. Older Lexus isF, 2011 to be exact. Before 2011, owned 1999 Lexus is300. Been a Lexus owner for 13+ years. Good guess tho...

Guys, instead of bashing or being very opinionated about it, the OP (me) was clearly asking if there was a site with 2014 altezza lights for the Lexus is250 F Sport, NOT what people think of them. I'll be in judge of what looks good or not. Thanks for the "opinions" though, lol but that's on you.
