The quality of the stock lenses is excellent. The RCR seems to be a carry over from the ricer mods imitating the RX 300 tails. Many of the aftermarket samples on other cars are of such poor quality, it is lame to take off the stocks. RCR to my tastes isn't that impressive.

Even the JP's, for most, they won't know them unless they read the Stanley Toyota on the lens. If you've seen the JP's you'll be able to spot them but the masses won't. Most will think eBay and that is cheapening your ride.

DUDE Neon's are SO fast! hahha



Why don't you buy a can of RED taillight paint, same process as smoking them, but instead of smoking them red them out. . .

They'll probably light up a red-orange color... but when off they'd be a nice crimson red..... just an idea


Only $10 on eBay

Is it just me... or are those LS400 tail lights on the can???

I have done that long time ago (mid 90s) on a different car, and over time, with heat, the orange part didn't shine like the red. Given how **** I am, I wouldn't do it.

THus I suffer with the ugly, disgusting, yellow turn signals in the rear.

"Thus I suffer" ... sounds tragic, almost Shakespearean.

You're funny, Ryan! I really am "LOL".

CrossRoads tail lights do not fit properly. I would not invest in them. Has anyone noticed that the bulbs in the far bottom corner of our outer tails is amber? At least if you look at the ones on the 98-00 LS

That ebay seller /\ /\ "zeroism702" is an excellent seller...he can get a lot of stuff considering he is in Japan. I have bought quite a few goodies from him in case anyone is out to buy and needs a vouch.
