read the other thread about the new sc430. after doing some hw. first of all i assume the taillights wil actually fit, but there will be some problems induced i think. more than likely wires will have to be cut and stuff. and hopefully the turn signals are not led otherwise it will blink very fast and you need regulator. and then you will also have a warning light on the dash since it's led taillights with much less resistence and the computer thinks something is blown in the back

just black them out like I did. It is a film like the clear bra only tinted. I like the look better than the orange circles.

I didn't scan through this whole thread to see, but the SAE has changed its testing method for horsepower ratings and its causing any manufacturer who uses the prescribed methods to come up with lower ratings than previously (unless their vehicle was under rated in the first place, but that's rare).

Is SAE retesting the older models with the new method for an accurate comparison?

Imbuggin... How much did that cost you? It looks great on black for sure. My car is blue so I dont think I can hang. I wish I could just turn those orange circles to red! I'll bet there will be no trouble switching to the new lights. I wonder when they will be available for order?

Do you think Smokey Granite (1G0) will be available for 06? This color will be part of the IS color line up so it would make sense.

Anyway color choices for JDM SC430 are hotttt!!!!

I want that pearl green 6U8!

The names of the new colors for the SC430:

3R1 - Matador Red

1G0 - Smoky Granite

8R6 - Breakwater Blue

4T2 - Tiger Eye Mica

I don't think the light greenish color is available in any Lexus model here yet, so I don't know how they'd call it here, if it's even available here . . .

There may be one or 2 that might not make it here, especially for Canada . . .
