The photos really don't give these lights any justice. They are actually very bright and the light pattern is even all throughout the housing. I commented on the Spec-D version appearing to fade out on the outer light bars... after taking these pictures of my own and knowing first hand that these are solid all the way through... I would say the photos don't capture that solid look possibly because of the curve of the lense??? Dunno but they are solid bars all the way through for sure.

Not at the moment... 06-08 but my guess is that they will be developing them. It would be if they did.

They will work on 09+ however you also need to acquire tailight harnesses from 06-08

I'm sold, I need to order these lights now. Time for the wallet to hurt for a bit.

Just going by what the vendor stated. 06-08 of course they will mount 09+ but yes the wiring is different which is why they are saying they are not compatible yet. Would be nice if they also provided the wire harness for the 09+ as an option.

Damn MikeFoxx . . . That looks dope. I'm not one to change from an '08 exterior, but these actually look great!

I drove by a 3IS recently and I noticed that they don't have that section of light that you are asking the vendor about.

I don't have any pics of my mom's 3IS taillight but I found a stock photo from Lexus. Looks like the reverse light is a bit more towards the license plate on the 3IS.

Looks sick and thanks for keeping the dialogue with Nigel and CL folks. They look really nice. My Eagle Eyes did the same with the bolt going through the back.

^^^^ absolutely... great vendor imo

We have been messaging back and forth and he is just as interested in getting an answer to the wire connection. He's already reached out to his source waiting a response. I sent a couple photos but will take one off for better pictures.

I did ask about any thoughts on a wire harness for 09+ and expressed the interest here for those 09+ members. He wants to get this first item worked out which is the right thing to do anyways. Answers pending early next week for my unconnected wire.

-----
Thanks for everyone's feedback and contributions. Please keep the questions coming and I keep getting them to Nigel-jdmparts so we can keep the answers here.
