Thanks Brian!

I got mine from a vendor on Facebook, he posted on IS Freaks page. It seems you can get them through eBay and other websites. I'm not sure if CL allows me to give his contact info but I'll try to find the post.

Yes, there is a bulge on the side, at first I didn't like it, but it grew on me.

They also have a smoked version: https://www.ebay.com/itm/112700981523

Yup, they're the same ones.

Looking forward to the video, as from the pic shown on eBay, the brake light seems just a tad weak. Hopefully that's just their picture..

Yeah the video/pictures doesn't do it justice, same with the 78Works/SpecDs but I prefer 78Works/SpecDs brake pattern better since it forms an 'L'.

Yes, they're all plug and play for all 2IS models (06-13 ISX50, 08-14 ISF). Mine is a 2012 ISF.

Also updated the original post with the video, I couldn't do brake/reverse during the day cause I didn't have anyone at the time.

Can you take a closer picture of the bulge for the tail lights? Wonder how far it sticks out?

If you don't mind, would love to see a picture of the rear 3/4 to show how big that bulge really is please. As well, if you could comment on the turn signal visibility from that angle, especially when brakes are applied at the same time. Cheers.

Here's a picture of side by side comparison with VLand vs. OEM.

These look great!

The factory ISF taillights look extremely dated and Lexus should have updated them the same time they added the LED strips in front.

I agree, they're the only part on the car (imo) that did not age well like the rest of the car. That's why owners often seek for 2IS 2009+ taillights (like Lou) or go for 78Works/Spec-Ds.
