IS350 in the UAE. CHECKOUT THE R. LIGHTS
Ok so for most of u this is no biggie but in the UAE (middle east and China markets) we only have the IS300, so to see a IS350 is a big deal. I did a double take too because check out the rear lights
Oh apparantly the chrome accents on the front and rear are just painted/stuck on the regualr GFX kit

Ok the reason for my post. WHERE THE HELL CAN YOU FIND THESE REAR LIGHTS. I spoke to the owner briefly over the phone and he told me he got it frmot he facotry like this. i know this is not the case, and he imported the car in from the states. I dont know if he got it from the factory ro second hand but he didnt seem to know much about the lights. Anyone know where u can get these lights???????

Pics really dont do the rear lights justice, look soooo much better in real life. They are not the IS-F lights cause they seem to be alot darker. This is the color i wanted from day one.

thats what i thought but i ran my fingers across the glass and i didnt feel any indentations, so unless the whole thing is smoked but the red is too red , then its not the case.

Those look like aftermarket LED tail lights.
Compare those
To these aftermarket tail lights from this thread https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho....php?p=3378536
Are you sure thats a USDM IS350? The front fenders come from the factory clean for models over here, no sidemarker, no IS-350 badge on the fender, no glue on vent. ewwww the IS-350 badge on the fender are just a bunch of aftermarket letters glued together.
It might just be a rebadged IS300 with a sharkfin glued on top. Or maybe its JDM, that would be closer market to import from.
Too bad you didn't get a better shot of the brakes, can't tell if it has the larger IS350 calipers, I think the IS300 has the same brakes as the IS250 right?

hmmm interesting
when i first saw the car i thought it was fake and just rebadged, but i dunoo when i spoke to the guy (over the phone) he told me he imported the car. but i guess he wouldnt admit it if he rebaddged it. but still it is possible he imported the car. I wanted to do that originally but too much of a hassle
as for the lights yea they do look like the aftermarket ones but the clear part is alot darker. either way i wish my rears where that color
as for the brakes i wish i thought about that. and no we dont have the IS350 brakes, otherwise i would have put on the TOMS brake pads

yea it is a GFX rear lip. I dunno i hope the car isnt a fake, cause he sure went through alot of trouble to rebadged the car (BTW there are alot more badges on the car.) and get the LED lights from ebay sent all the way to the UAE. He was upfront about the chrome trimmings and he had no clue about his rear lights being diff from the reg IS's. Maybe he imported the car from the states with the ebays already installed. plus he had the sharkfin which we dont have here. I treid getting the guy to sign up to CL but i dunno if he will.
