Default black tail light housing

has any one done black tail light housing they same way as the head light housing? [I do not mean black smoking, I mean the actual housing painted, like in the diy thread]

or maybe does anyone have a picture of what our tail lights would look like w. the housing done out in black?

if so, please post pix, I'm trying to decide if I want to do black housing front and back or not

thx guys

Yes. It's a whole forum dedicated to IS, and about everything has been covered.

I was looking here:
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...=1#post2447718

I think I like the all black better, but LED tails for that price is good.

What to do...

yea Carbon, i agree, i dont totally know what i'm going to do just yet ... i was talking to a guy in LA, he wants to convert his IS back to stock and i want his CF bits and his rims (we could even have done a str8 swap cos our carsa are the same color) but then he just disappeared ... boo ...

i kno the head lights are getting the blk for sure ... but i want to do all of it @ once ... if i do red ... and h8 it, i could go blk after i guess ... GAH who knows ... but at least now i know kinda what everything looks like

Do the headlight and fogs yourself first. Than see if you really like the color combo with your paint, than decide what you want to do with the tails...

Tail lights, I would recommend getting it done by a someone who does them, or trade your stock ones + cash, or buying already painted ones.

W/E you decide, good luck and Happy Modding!
