I think the white lines can be fixed with red overlays
Hopefully someone with a USB pulls the trigger before me ^_^

It doesn't look too bad.
I kind of like it. I do agree that it should be smoked out a bit since the white sticks out too much.

I think it looks pretty damn nice if you ask me on a darker color like the one in the photo or an Obsidian

For your information. These are not the same as the JDM Nigel's versions. Here is a picture with both styles. Top is 78 and bottom is JDM Nigel. As you can see, the JDM L shaped lights are not as sharp angled as the 78. The Top L shape one on the Nigel version is also lower in the light, I think that looks better. The reverse light and fog lights are hallogen type and more oem looking. The brake lights are two shorter strips on the outside light only, more consistent with the style of the new isX. Plus the light themselves when not lit, they are not all obnoxiously white

Nigel's versions

Nigel's version is definitely different, among other things it looks like the L-shaped strips have multiple small LED's in them rather than being a single "fiber" LED strip as shown in the first set. I actually prefer the sharper angle of the L in the first set. And it's hard to know what Nigel's lights look like with the LED's off since every picture has the LED's illuminated.

yup not diggin the white lines, if #2 lines are the same color as the lens, pretty sure this will be a nice upgrade.

just got in contact with 78WORKS, and they do not ship international. they said they are not sure if it will work on left hand drive cars (they only tested on japanese IS models right hand) . I ordered one, it will be arriving in June since they are currently out of stock. I will let you all know.

Subscribed for results ^_^

Nigel JDM parts quoted their set $480 shipped.

I like the red 78works set and was thinking of a full red overlay to hide the white bars when off. Trying to get a pic of Nigel's with the lights off.
