Default Lexus RX300 LED Tails *installed*

Well, long story short, I originally wanted the Red/Clear but ended up receiving Red/Smoke from the eBay seller.

It doesn't look that bad, but i'd still prefer red/white. Anyways, I snapped a few cell phone pix, I have more at home with a real camera, I'll take some night shots and maybe a vid for those interested.

The product seems very high quality and fit like it should.

Anyways, here are a couple of shots (I plan to fully detail the car this weekend so more pix later!)

Before & After tails...
Left side, candy red painted...looked nice when the paint was still fresh, but it faded & oxidized...temporary fix...
Right side, the new hotness, very happy I bought them...and for the price ~$250ish...can't beat it!

Wow, they look a lot better than I thought they would. for continuing to mod your RX, haha since I love your other cars.

Do you have any plans for your old tails? If you're gonna have them lying around the garage may I ask how much I can take them off your hands for? Thx in advance.

Yeah, I was thinking the same, but the improvements with LED are amazing. Everyone else on the road with LED tails make me so jealous...

These are VERY NICE! I say save the money on the film and order a set of LED tails. They come in all sorts of color combos...

With the RX, plan on spending some dough, there's a lot of stuff you want on your RX.

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.....

Do they make those tailights for the 99-00? I know that you can install those but i have the Venetian Red exterior and my stock tailights look great since they are the same color. Do they have LEDs with that style?
