Question: in the original tails does anyone know if the amber is simply a plastic lense within the housing? I have modded tails in the past by seperating the lense and removing the amber without any issues. I have yet to look these tails but if so the cost is just for the black silicone to reseal them and maybe a few hours of ur time.

I just did mine today too, along with new wheels and tires....yall need to get rid of the ugly amber bulbs in the clear turns and get some chrome stealth bulbs. I had a extra set from my Tundra that I bought years ago. It really cleans it up nice and no ugly amber look.

I get them directly from Lexus dealer. Total cost around 415. Cheaper than most online store. You don't have to wait. I called Lexus dealer parts department on Thursday and on Friday, the lights are there to pickup. Fast and simple.

No you cant remove the amber, its the color of the plastic. I know what youre talking about though...I removed the amber blinkers from my BMW headlights to give them the clear look.
I have a little bit of rub at full lock but I'll fix that tomorrow.

RCsGX,
Where can you get the chrome coated 7440 light bulbs (signal lamps, single filament)? I couldn't find any on the ebay or amazon. They have the 7443 chrome bulbs (dual filaments) but NOT a single 7440. TIA.
