Default Best price on 06 taillight upgrade

What's the best price that people have found for the taillight upgrade with the ECU?

The "group buy discount" from L-Tuned Parts (Carson Toyota) is currently $780 (plus shipping), but there have been posts of people getting it for $748 (after tax), and even $673--see https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=210105

What has everyone else been paying and has anyone found a better price? I can't resist holding out any longer!

I just have a feeling that a few good used sets will start appearing here in a few months.

i don't know how much that ecu is worth, but Carson's will do it for$512 without the ecu:
i'm not sure if this code still works or not, but
CODE CL06TL will GET EACH SIDE AT 256.00.

Thanks for the advice...just bought it from Sewell/Lexus-Parts.com at the amazing price of $636...shipping was only $8.

According to Lee's post, now I suppose the only other things are the:
- Amber bulbs
- T40 Torx screwdriver

Anything else one should have to do the installation?

i would get some masking tape to make sure the taillights don't scratch against the bumper (especially when you do it the first time)

Why do you say that a few used sets of LED tails are coming out soon? Don't tell me you have word of another taillight upgrade in store for the '08 SC?!
