for sure, i think the color matches well. definitely a lot better than the old style taillights!

super easy install. I didnt want to install the tailights this weekend because I was thinking they were going to take too long. My friend who is a tech at lexus said I didnt need to take off all the covers and crap.

Basically it takes about 20-30 minutes!

the top two peices come off with 2 10mm bolts each and theres a clip so you have to pop it off. No problem takes like 5 minutes max.

The bottom is where it gets a little tricky.
1. you pop off the plastic trim where it says lexus.
2. unscrew the two clips that hold the cargo net on.
3. take out the 10mm bolt holding each light.
4. take out the top plastic clip holding the side panel in place
5. bend the panel back slightly and stick your hand in there and undo the wire harness clip. (the smaller the hands the better, dont be scared they dont break or anything mine look perfectly normal)
6. pull the harness out through the front
7. install everything back in reverse order.

Henry, the cars look great. I really like the chrome bulb idea, it makes the tail look that much cleaner!

lights, you can email superlumination@***.net about it, you want the 7440NA bulbs. couple of us including myself are using it

the soarer emblem is from japan. you can ask carson toyota to see if they still have it. make sure you ask about the one for sc430, NOT sc300/400

Great pics and install!! very detailed. LED without Amber makes a world of difference.

Hey Rominel I love that installation man I have a blue 2003 sc430 and you have just made me interested in doing this to my car. I am kinda new to these back light things man. can u help me out because I want to do this to my car. Do you just change out the whole thing and place the original lights back in??? How much does it cost and where can i get that back light cover??? If its from toyota can I have the part number so I can order them???
