Hi guys, just wanted to show some changes I've done recently. I changed my tail lights to the sport (08+ I beilieve?) model lights with the clear lens, as well as changed the bulbs to the chrome ones. Also, I added the LED bumper reflectors, AND the chrome strip moulding under the glass. Let me know what you think. Next project on my list, ADD A SPOILER lol.
Here's what it looked like before:
New tail lights, new reflectors, chrome moulding, still old orange bulbs:
Very nice. I really love the LED reflector conversion too. It just completes the look. I first got that idea from the newer RX's. They swapped out the reflectors to LED too from the factory.
What kind of stealth bulbs did you use btw? Are the eBay ones any good, or did you go with the Stealth Bulb brand itself? Pretty pricey, thats why I'm holding off until somebody can make the LED bulbs work with the flasher relay swap to digital relays.

I went with stealth bulb brand from autolumination.com I got the full chrome ones ($3.49/ea), but they're not very bright at all. Pretty dim compared to my generic orange bulbs from autozone. I'm thinking to maybe get the chrome-dome ones, it says they're 40% brighter. Because in sunlight, mine are barely visible.
LEDs to replace the bumper reflectors! Why ...and how much attention do you think you'll get from police. They look like brake lights. Are they when you turn on the lights or do they come on when you hit the brakes? Not necessary in my opinion.

The lights are designed to come on when you turn on lights, and then get brighter when you hit brakes. But the way I wired them, they're simply on when I turn on lights. No brake lights, and don't blink with turn signals. And cops don't stalk Lexus SUV's. They have plenty of other fish to fry. I've been pulled over 3 times in 10 years, zero in this car.
And why did I do it? Cause 'merica. Lol. It's what I wanted, that's what I got. Do you say the same to people that get 22" wheels?

touche' I actually like your configuration of the leds. You still have the safety feature of having the reflectors, but with leds behind it that only come on with the headlights.
