So I had my tail lights smoked today at work, just a slight smoke did not want to go too dark my opinion still looks a little classy what do you guys and gals think??

Not bad.

This is about as dark as you can get away with without starting to significantly take away from the "luxury" look of the LS.

I recently saw a 2007-ish LS with the rear lights completely 100% blacked out, and I immediately thought "this guy must have bought a salvage LS for next to nothing and is now trying to make it look ghetto".

In any case, you look appears super professional.

Not a fan to be honest. Even lightly done like yours. It does take away from the luxury and I'm my opinion makes it look like a ghetto glider. No offense meant. The lighter version does look better than completely blacked out, but I'm just not a fan. I prefer to keep the car stock which to me looks elegant and classy.

Not a fan either. But our tastes are all different. When I bought my rear LED tailights, I had the choice between smoked and red. Obviously I chose red because it's classy and maintains the LS luxury appearance. You blacked out your logos too, so obviously you're going for a different look. Some would say "Ricer"...LOL

Wait a minute, what happened to your antenna? I thought this was standard equipment on all vehicles from 2007 onwards.

Looks like the roof was painted or wrapped maybe?

You must be referring to my ricer......

These tails look nice....light smoke color. I also like the painted trunk bar.

Just FYI, the 13+ tails are pretty smoked from the factory so I would say a light smoke would still look pretty OEM.

SweetLS

yes it is painted black, that was the first thing I did when I got the car.

thanks, yeah I thought the chrome trim on the trunk looked better painted the same color as the car. It's the little details that make a difference if you ask me

Did you remove the antenna? Does it affect radio reception or was it just for satellite?

SweetLS

No my car is a 2008 base model not navigation or rear camera so it never came with a roof antenna, the antenna is made into the rear glass I assume.

jasone36

Didn't realize Lexus made a modern "base" LS without navigation or the backup camera.

Can you post a picture of the interior? Interested in seeing any differences.

jasone36

Good call, SW15LS. I didn't realize this until you pointed it out.

Thanks!
