The outside was painted...they came clear. Don't get me wrong they look ok, but not OEM quality paint job.

It cost me $100 to have them painted red... so to have them painted black by a pro I would say the same.

The lights are plug and play. I bought them off of ebay. They were clear when I bought them. The paint job looks ok, what I am saying is they dont have the factocy look to them......it is paint not red plastic. I posted a bunch of pics on the prev page. The lights were over 300 dollars when I bought them. Great deal for $125 shipped IMO.....shipping cost $20....so you are getting the lights for $105 really. You could always get smoked overlays for them.

hey man yeah i figured they wouldnt be as great.
just trying to see what works best.

what are the stealth turn signals?
seems like a pretty good deal. how hard is it to change the lights? Is it something you can do at home...

is the red paint on the exterior of the light or the interior? because if i am going to spray it again i dont want it to ruin the red paint too.??

btw its shipped to 75038.

The paint is on the outside of the lights. The stealth turn signal bulbs light up amber, but when not lit are clear. The install is easy...takes about 30-45 min being your first time. There are some DIY here on the forum. I can also step you through the process.

They should have painted on the inside heh. On the other hand, If you wetsand enough they can turn clear again.

These lights are perfect for someone looking for an ISF upgrade for cheap. Plus they can be smoked with the Aerotect smoke overlay film and look just as nice. Good luck with the sale.

I thought the paint job looked good....but I have nothing to compare them to. I ran them in my car for a while and got alot of comps on them. Another member of Club Lexus said they were not that good (His family has a paint shop).
