Default My new taillights

I bought cleared/smoked taillights from ISC400 back at the beginning of February, but due to a combination of bad weather and the fact that my car's being stored out in Missouri until I get a new clutch in it, I just finally got them installed tonight.

I love them, they make a big difference. It was getting late so I only got one picture taken, and I held up a stock taillight for reference.

Good question. If everything goes as planned I'll be buying my Centerforce dual friction clutch on Friday, and after that's installed it'll be a matter of seeing if Unorthodox is going to swap back out my water pump pulley (they sent me a replacement, but it was red instead of polished, so I'm looking into getting the right one), and waiting on MVP to ship me the Gates accesory belt.

With any luck it should be back on the streets within a couple of weeks, but I've learned not to get my hopes up.

Hmm, you like the smoked and I hate it. Mine were smoked when I purchased my car, and I'm now in the middle of un-smoking them. To each there own though. Maybe cause mine were pitchblack. But they look clean.

Doesn't look good at all.

Could just be a bad picture.

The diffusers were taken out, yeah.

My driver's side taillight was busted and in like 30 pieces but the previous owner had it held together with some strip of metal, so anything would have been better. I was shopping for a stock replacement and came across that set for cheaper than I'd have spent for one stocker, plus I like the way they look.

I do have to say that I love CL, when you guys don't like something you state it politely instead of flaming like every other car forum I've been on in the past 5 years.

i think the smoked looks good, the liscense plate is just way to bright and loud for your car. also your lexus emblem needs to be put back on or something?

Yep, the camera flash is why the plate is so damn bright.

And yeah, when I got the car the Lexus emblem had been ripped off. My car's not in the greatest shape but I'm working on it.
