Default HALO Headlight, Clear side marker and LED rear reflector light installed

I installed the HALO PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS HEADLAMPS CHROME. I tapped the parking light power source for Halo lamp wires. I used HID for low beam light. I replaced the oem front and rear side markers with clear lens with blue leds. Our RX's has two(2) rear red reflectors R/L without bulb. For the RX 330 and up Lexus uses bulb. So I replaced those with RED LED PARKING/ BRAKE LIGHT. I used the taillights for power source those lights . I have to open the rear bumper cover and trunk trims on both sides. I used the same way out the rear side marker cable goes. Here is some pics.

Nice. Where did youy giet those clear side markers? They look great. I put halos on another car of mine and they weren't as bright as I wanted. I really like your LED bottom reflectors and duel tips. I'm not one for blue lights but to each his own. I would put an amber light in there thogh. It lookds like form the pics provided, your chrome finish on the headlights might muttle some of your light into what looks like someoone driving with brights on. Car looks good. I haven't seen many with in that color.

Where did you get the RED led bumper lights?

I hope the clear corners are better quality these days.
I purchased some just like these from my gs 300 and they leaked and turned colors withing a few months

Love the headlights and the rear leds. I too would be interested in knowing where you picked up the rear, red led bar.

i have seen some talk about this. and the fronts are pretty easy, maybe a 10 minute job per side. Though the backs are a lot harder to get to.

i thought these markers would be like the older bmw car how you could gently slip over and use a flat-head and pop them out. will i be having to remove a fender or bumper of any sort to get these markers off

nop it was easy. Here is the details: Crawl under the wheel well of the side you will be replacing the side marker light. Remove the three screws from the wheel well, close to the fender.
Remove the two bolts on the edge of the fender. Remove the three bolts from under the bottom of the wheel well. Remove the three screws from the cowling, in front of the wheel well, and pull down the cowling.
Reach into the vehicle, and remove the side marker bulb, by rotating it, counterclockwise. Install a replacement bulb.
Push the cowling back into its original position, and reinstall the three screws to the cowling. Reattach the three bolts to the wheel well and two bolts to the fender.
Reinstall the three screws, to secure the wheel well.

My rear side marker on the passenger side broke after I got hit; and the bumper got slightly dislodged too. Will the above steps work to replace the rear passenger side, - side marker. Mine is a 2000 Rx 300.

Thanks.
