I give you props for trying it. Perhaps Lexus will follow suit via OEM, but in this case, no bueno.

I am sorry but that looks like @#*%.

Maybe if you can get them to blink, it might look better

This looks a bit cleaner...

Doesn't seem that they sell it for GS. I wouldn't spend $300 on such a thing anyway, but hey... if you really want that look.

I like the thought, but not the execution. All of the bulbs are too blue, and the LEDs definitely give it that xmas tree light look.

I think the LEDs can look good on our car, but it has to be subtle, not flashy. And definitely inside the lens cover. Not feeling the Vaistech version either. I want smaller, lower wattage lights that are more closely spaced.

I think something modeled after the R8 could look amazing.
