no shizzle bro.. .welcome to the club..
...i bought my wife one last year & we now work from home... so i am now rebuilding my IS & doing a bunch of custom work, & i am driving the RX all the time...
I just did new 18x8 wheels & big **** Michelins, Drilled & Slotted rotors & new pads. SS lines are on the way..... i had KYB shocks & Eibach springs installed also dropped it about 1.3 inches or so...& i freaking LOVe it... the thing looks SOOO much better with beefy wheels & tires liek an X5 Vs the OEM "Skinny leg" look, & sitting lower with tighter shox & springs made a HUGE difference in driving dynamics but NOT a huge negative in ride quality i was very surprised to find....
I have a stereo DVD player, sub, & amp to be installed &...am getting pressure from the wife to add the Wood dash kit & oem Wheel & Shift ****...
i am looking for a clean body kit like an RMM or Lsportline for the IS....,
I think i will probably develop a Raptor Supercharger for the thing in the next year as soon as i finish my IS.....

Nope, gave it a wash before I took that last shot. They are SUPER BRIGHT at night, its amazing! I can't emphasize how nice & functional they are. They make them in an array of color combo's...
No leaks or bulb failure warning lights either...
I remember with the LED 2GS taillights, their first batch gave people taillight bulb failures in the dash. The 2nd batch came with an updated board, similar to the one pictured below that solves that problem.
I don't know how many diff. companies makes LED tails for the RX, but with the Sonar tails I received, they are perfect in every way!
Hope that helps!

Prices seem reasonable and shipping is about average. Seller is very slow at responding to your emails, takes at least 1-2 days to respond. And although the seller is only about an hour from me, it took almost 2 weeks for me to receive the item.
But, overall, pricing & quality is great if you can deal with those conditions.

Those really look good. Better than the 330's, I dare say. Not that I do not like mine.

Got it !!!
Here you go folks, my LED are now installed and ready to ride... I've refreshed my baby easily five years. This is like plastic surgery for the RX, made an eight year old car "new" again...
The installation was super easy. It really was as described from the seller that "plug and play" didn't need to wire anything or cut anything. Just pop the old tailights out, remove the bulbs, put on new bulbs (connections) and then install. The unit I got came with the amber 7440 turn signal bulbs, so didn't even need to get them separately.
Here is a pic of the car before anything...

Inner of outer light
The thing was really as easy as removing the old bulbs and putting in the new bulb. It even had the load resistor built in (red area), which was basically two wires soldered to a metal plate. Hey, it works right? The connectors for the bulb (yellow) and LED unit (green) plugged right into the existing plugs for the RX.
