I got a led Lexus logo. Good or bad?

 

So, I've been thinking about doing this for a while. I have had mixed feelings about it. One on side, I felt it cheapens the car to the level of the little Honda rice burners, but then Merecedes went and did it so that eliminated that excuse. I'm still unsure. There's a guy here that customizes these but he want's too much money. Can you link where you've purchased yours, please? Here's a link I started a while ago. I saw a few Camaros in my hometown that would have a light up BowTie on the trunk in red that would illuminate upon braking. It was pretty neat. Anyway, any links you can offer?

PS. I do feel that this is more "upscale" compared to the cheaper ebay one, I originally posted.

 

Mixed feelings. But could always turn it off if you don't like it. Get an inline switch or toggle. Are these on Amazon?

 

From the technical perspective, it's an interesting idea.

However, realistically the car will look significantly lower class (like the Kia and Hyundai 4 cylinder crew).

Also, it's very likely it'll fail within 6 months to one year (I've seen similar results in cheap "aftermarket" gadgets).

I would definitely put it on a switch, so that you can keep it disabled most of the time.

About the only place I'd actually "value" something like this is at a car show. I'd probably pay attention briefly, until quickly thinking it's Kia-esque.

 

Here you go buddy.

 

...the good thing about this emblem, is that you can turn it off (if it comes with a switch or you add one). I don't think I would want it on all the time, it draws attention,but not necessarily good attention. I agree with jasone36, as maybe being a car show item

 

Just my opinion, it does trash the car, sorry bro.

 

Now that Mercedes has captured the market on this idea... what are the forums' thoughts? I'm still in debate... I passed a new CL (i think) last night with the light up front badge... I still have mixed feelings. Thoughts?

 

Not exactly my cup of tea, but I can see the novelty of it. I don't think it's absolutely ugly, just not for me.

 

I am not really a fan either but I did it, I would want to be really dim...actually, I would make the illumination adjustable.

 

When I first saw it on Mercedes I thought it was part of holiday decorations. I think during the holiday season it definitely looks OK. An on/off button would be convenient for that purpose.

 

.....I'm still not a fan of it, I've seen it on the MB & it was ok, but still nothing that I would do.

 

Needs something to make it functional, rather than bling. I suggest sawing off the lateral lines other than the L, then inserting as many LED bulbs as it can manage...might be cool, AND a drl better than OEM.
OR, try same equipment change, then point it to the sky--LEXUSman?

 

it does seem more Mercedes blingy than Lexus cool

 

I think Mercedes only does an outline and its not that bright.

They did it in a way that is not in your face and tacky, its sort of like an ambient emblem light instead of a bright emblem light.
