Those reverse lights kill the image. I'd have to tint that small section. Keep in mind those lights are made very cheap which could possibly leak or have wiring issues.

I've seen these in person and they look good. The reverse light section is really ugly though. The fitment didn't look quite right but it wasn't too bad.

You can get tinted ones too.

I've been considering getting these and tinting them completely, and putting some extra silicone to seal them.

Not bad, but too cheesy on a lexus sc. I'd go with used good condition originals preferably 98+ but the prefer older models too over the o'L ebay any day
Just my pinion from this angle

Not a fan. Cheapens the Lexus brand IMO. I agree with everything LEXXIUM said.

I literally have these exact tails on my 240 however not having the reverse light oval looks signifcantly better on the 240s. I really like them on that car however I think it would depend on the color of your SC. I plan on doing the tinted version of these on my gfs black SC, it should look pretty clean and her lights leak anyway

Yeah reverse light oval kills the tails.
I'd rather just have OEM tails or better yet some 97+'s like what I have now.
