Default Fabricated sequential tail lights

Fabricated sequential tail lights made for the Lexus IS 250c convertible, 2010. I made these without cutting or plastic or wires. This way I can go back to stock if I need to.

Looks good! Did you modify the top to operate without holding the button?

Yup... Also, when closing, it will turn the car off and lock the doors... While you are walking away.

Cool! I had Luxlink installed on my SC430 and really miss the one touch top operation. Did you use some kind of kit or did you develop your own mod for that? I would love to have that on our car!

eBay. $550. But it came with problems and Vland had to send me an additional module/chip to install to make it work. Other people have had the same problem as me too.

It's probably a safety feature that they didn't though.... If a head arm or hair was in the way of the roof or window you would just let go, conscious or not.

It's a US thing... I know that BMW had that feature in their convertibles in Europe but said Americans like lawsuits, so they disabled it for US bound cars.
