I really like the stance of your car. What is your suspension set-up?

true. the hr3's only come in 20's unfortunately. I'll definitely post up rolling shots if I ever get them done.
Right now the car is already up on craigslist to see what I can get. I need monies

What did you do to make the corner clear? Took out the orange bulb?

Actually the bulb is clear. There is an orange cylinder over the bulb opening attached by a screw. I tried baking my corners buh was only successful in breaking off a mounting tab. You could try a heat gun or jus buying them already cleared.

the stock bulb isn't orange, it's clear which emits a nasty yellow. it's the orange cylinder/capsule that goes over that clear bulb that makes it orange. don't know why lexus didn't originally go with the orange bulbs instead of the clear.. it would've still had that orange look in the housing. oh well.

i didn't want to spend the extra money to buy another set when i could just work on my current set so i cracked the orange capsule. it was tedious and took up a good 30 minutes for one side since i didn't have the right tools.

if you want, here are the clear ones.

all you gotta do to get rid of the orange is to change out the bulb to either a chrome stealth bulb (same as stock but dipped in chrome and has less light output than stock cause of it) or pop in an LED. you can also use your stock bulbs which should be clear but it will emit yellow when you use the turn signal. that's not bad at all since our turn signals dont stay lit like on many other cars.

do keep in mind that using LEDs without resistors will cause hyperblink on the turn signals. that's why i resorted to sticking to my stock clear bulb.
