This is a very simple question with a rather complicated answer. Beverly Auto doesn't sell the lights, but rather the service of the LED conversion. Basically you would have to provide them with stock lights and they will convert them. Prices for each modification are separate so you can choose any options you want, but it adds up quickly, especially when you have to purchase new stock lights.

Not all wheels, the maker of this went outside of the box, it is truly innovative, NOT functional but innovative.

Audi is goood that's why!

Seriously the LED craze is with every mfr. now, just look at the new Ferrari and McLaren. LED's are here to stay and I wish Lexus offers something.

Well Lexus has been putting real LED's in the Taillights (in some models) for almost 4 years now... Even the Lic plate lighting..

Not too mention the LED Projector Headlights in the LS600h..



Now its just a matter of time before LED's become standard..

Also, finding new places too put them is always fun!!

So really the "next big thing" needs to be a blackout LCD to hide the LED lighting system when it isn't in use. The LCD goes clear when you light up the lights, so in the day time your lights are blacked out completely and at night you have full lighting power. Of course DRLs screw that pooch, but even then it may be possible to provide selective blackout capabilities...
