This mod is definitely illegal in the US, not that I'm saying police are necessarily going to give out a ticket.

You can have sequential lights, but the first light in the sequence has to meet the minimum size requirement for a full turn signal, meaning in the eyes of the law the others in the sequence are just for show. The first light is way too small on these.

Mustangs had a legal sequential light because each light was pretty large.

Not too sure about this, I live in Alberta, CA where inspections aren't required by law. Other provinces here do have a required safety inspection upon sale of a vehicle but you could put them back on if need be when you decide to sell. Guess if you require annual inspections then you might have to be more wary of the consequences.

Hey aznkorboi, I don't have the part number, I just got hooked up and paid and waited for the lights to arrive. The parts came with genuine lexus packaging but there was no invoice, no product sheet, no nothing about the part.

You are still welcome to come to LA to meet up though haha

There's a couple of us from LA, mind sharing your source then? Maybe we can pay, wait for the install and call it a day with your same guy.

They are direct plug and play. The installation was pretty involved though. Took 3 hours to install!
I've sold a set of RX Sequential Tail Light to someone in the states, and yes, it took around 7 weeks.
I guess it is your set.

No word about whether the front is plug and play too. I'm guessing it is but I want to be fairly sure. We need a guy like "760A" to know more info. He is the man!

As for which vendor it is, I don't really know unfortunately. My friend only told me to pay and wait for the lights to arrive.

99.99% is me lol
Ask your frd…haha

Is your friend name Joey?

A handful of us would love to know more info!

If many of us are willing to pay for a f sport spindle grill, I am sure many us are also willing to get the sequential tail lights!

I can order it anytime, you guys can PM me.
I can get F sport grill, body kit, sequential tail light and all other Japanese goodies.


I thought there is F Sport package from the dealer, why do you need to purchase the F sport grill?
