2013 Lexus ES 350 w/ 20K miles. Has 30% Window Tints, 6000K HIDs (www.xenonhids.com), 6000k LED Reverse lights (iJDMtoy), led door courtesy lights also from iJDMtoy. Tried to install 6000K fogs but I think I have a power issue, maybe not enough power to turn the fogs on. They flickered on but turned off a second later. Also had a K&N Short Ram Intake (2013 Toyota camry 3.5L V6) part.

Same here, I'm gonna get a can of plastidip this weekend and black out the grille That looks both menacing and understated cool. Hopefully I'll get my crazy bright reverse LEDs tomorrow so I'll put up some pix.

White and dusty in the shade, up in the mountains...

I got my reverse LED but now I realize I have a pair of reverse lights, not just one. At least I'll get to compare stock vs. LED brightness.

Wow! That is one BIG and ugly license plate frame! Do they really care about that in China? When I've visited, there seemed to be very little, as far as "rules of the road" goes. Stoplight lanes mean nothing, it's ok to drive on the wrong side of the street, cars have the right of way to pedestrians, etc...

The plate was blacked out in a photo editor It's big to make it easier for license plate cameras to spot if you're breaking traffic laws, which everyone here seems to do constantly.

A million traffic and speed cameras around and drivers still drive like insane homicidal maniacs, whether in a tin can Cherry QQ, a Cayenne Turbo or a Bentley. Traffic rules are more like suggestions... But can't blame 'em for being aggressive when they're sharing the road with oblivious pedestrians, cyclists, tractors, bicycle carts, electric mopeds and who knows what else.

Going to do some simple mods today and see how it looks, I'm going to change the reverse lights to LEDs which look like this

then im going to swap the stock fog lights with these LED DRL 5000k bulbs.


I also bought a red pre cut vinyl overlay to go over the clear part of the taillight. The top part. Eager to see how it will look. I am also going to Home Depot right now to buy some PlastiDip to black out the grille and maybe the chrome trim along the windows. More of an experiment day, i can take it off if i do not like it.

Won't that change the appearance of the reverse lights from white to red?
