Question Aftermarket Lighting Mods for 06 UL

Since i got my tax return back and have some money put away i have decided to make some new purchases for my lex. I have been looking for new tail lights preferably darker however, i can not find anything for an 06 model. The only mods for the car i have seen at all are for like 01-05 i have found it very difficult to find mods for the 06. If anyone knows about any websites that have aftermarket parts for this car i would appreciate it. Thank you.

2004-2006 body style should be the same. Most parts are listed under 2001-2003, 2004-2006 with the ls430. If you find the tails you like and wanna sell your current pair i'll grab em from you. Personally you shouldn't mess with the true LED tails on your car it looks perfect, just my opinion.

You could always smoke them yourself. You can find paint specifically for that at most autoparts stores

The 01-03 are different from the 04-06. The taillights on the 04-06 are the L.E.D. ones.

Probably clear from what others have posted, but sometimes aftermarket companies don't update their application guides for the last years of a model run, so even though the model run ended in '06, the guides might not get updated to indicate that year. I think it's 100% safe to assume that any part that fits an '04/'05 will fit your '06.

Body and lights wise I would assume anything in the gen (04-06) would fit. I'm curious to see what you have in mind.

^^ Is that the link you intended to post? Those aren't for the '04-'06 car.

You would be better off just tinting your OEM's with window tint, and the ones you linked too were made for 01-03 owners who wanted an LED tail light upgrade. (what you already have)

Looking at some suspension mods too straight from L-Tuned parts. Don't exactly like the price but hey they are the only ones i can basically trust to have the right part and there be no BS about it not fitting.
