I purchased a CPO 2007 Obsedian Black IS350 (Creme interior) in April of this year. The one thing that irritates me are the orange rectangles in the rear tail lights. I want that whited out and it seems my options are to change to the IS-F or the LED tail lights.

Does anyone have pictures/feedback on which you think look best? Initially I thought the LED's had a cheap look to them however I heard they look very good on. I would love to see pictures of both....

Also since I have a CPO I was told by lexus changing these wouldn't void my warranty as long as I used same harnesses/wires,etc as my current light. I assume the vendors on ebay sell them to easily plug in? Do you guys have them professionally installed or put in yourself?

I'm sure this is a report so I'm sorry, I'm not familiar navigating around the forum yet.

Edit: The LEDs are not plug and play

Another option is just to red out the orange square for $20 from aerotect.

Thank you, have you done this on yours? Which did you get? I don't mind the $20 quick fix but don't want to sacrafice looks if its going to look cheap.

+1.

unless you MUST have the LED's or the is-f taillights, the red-outs from aerotect are a nice, inexpensive option as an aesthetic mod.

After looking at pics, i prefer the LED's however don't want to risk voiding warranty since they don't appear to be plug n play.

ISF ftw!

I can't stand the LED ones no offense.

I've done the red outs for my 09 2IS, which is different than yours. The 09 one is a bit harder to do, but it turned out great IMO. Many members have redouts on here, and it does not look tacky at all.

I red out my white IS looks really good I imagine same cleaness apply to red on black
Don't know what the fuzz about IS-F tail is most people won't be able to tell you spent $500 on that.

I agree, I'm going to either whiteout/redout the orange. I haven't thought about redding it out but apparently it looks pretty good.

I Agree with Stock4AG, Redout is the way to go, cheapest MOD on the IS.

You can also consider 09+ taillights with redouts, but this option will be more expensive -

Scroll down to toHn's post. I find that the 09+ tails look nice particularly during the night.

LED tail lights are plug and play. The only reason why LEXX135 had to tap in was because he purchased 06 tail light for his 07/08 IS. 06 tail light wiring is different amongst the later models. I purchased the 06 LED tails too for my 07, wasn't that hard to tap in and saved me $130 since it was on sale.

To the OP, i had doubts to the LED tails as well thinking it was cheap looking. But honestly, you have to see it in person. I love the LED tails, makes the car more aggressive day and night. Got many compliments including ISF owners
