Default What do dealers charge to replace tail lights? Where do I start with wheels?

Sorry for the long question.

I have a 04 Pebble Beach (Azure Pearl) and I'd like to "augment" it with nicer looking wheels and the LED tail lights. I am a total moron when it comes to DIY mechanical stuff so don't even bother telling me to order the parts and install them myself (I can however examine your heart and abdomen with alacrity).

So how much should it cost me to get my new local dealer (moving to Virginia Beach) to install the new LED tails and do you have any suggestions for OEM wheels? I'd love to get some 19 inch chrome 20 spoke wheels (or close) but am not sure where to even start. The custom car shops in the area don't really have what I'm looking for. Any suggestions? Cheers.

imho dealership charging 2 hours MAX for changing the taillights sound reasonable

about wheels, i am a bit confused, you want some oem 19s? or you mean you have oem now and want to go for 19s / 20s?

I have OEMs with the 5 spoke wheel covers rather than the flying saucer covers. I'd like either OEM Lexus 18s (19s preferably) if there are some decent looking OEM wheels out there, or 19s/20s if Lexus makes nothing worth looking at. I can't seem to find any web page showing what optional wheels Lexus makes. Thanks for your help!

IIRC, the only OEM 19's from Lexus are those available for the LS460/600hL, & they won't fit the SC430 - different bolt pattern.

The optional wheels are on the Lexus website under "accessories" for each model : http://www.lexus.com/models/SC/accessories/index.html

I've seen SC430's here with the spyders, tourmalines & the 5-spoke 18's of the 3GS on them . . .

Where in VA are you?
If you are in No VA I'll be happy to help you out with the tail lights getting installed. I got my wheels from Derrick at D2 Autosport a vendor here, many choices, real helpful, great fit.
