Default Rear LED "light bar" accessory
Has anyone installed one of these? Pricey but looks pretty cool!! I'd like to see more pics and it would be nice if they had instructions on how to wire it and such.

It really gives that "new Lexus" vibe like the IS and NX.

I saw that a few weeks ago. In concept it seems cool but execution seems cheesy. And for the price, I'm good. lol.

$735 US -- https://www.ebay.com/itm/154536626155

I found another auction with a couple of daytime pics. I like it...

You can get it at a significantly cheaper price via AliExpress.

Lexus ES LED Taillights 2018 ES200 ES260 ES300h Dynamic Turn Signal Lexus ES Cross Tail Lights Rear Light DRL|Car Light Assembly| - AliExpress

However, do note that it sticks out quite a lot. Not too much of an issue when view from the rear. But looks rather ungainly when viewed from the side.

Thanks, I could not find it at Aliexpress, their search results suck bad for me. Definitely cheaper there and is the identical product.

The review on the link you sent isn't too good. I found the same product even cheaper with this seller, about half the eBay price -- https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003769113792.html

Seeing it in motion is a complete turn off.

I can only imagine what it'll look like when a few of the led segments burn/short out.

Oh wow yes that's terrible. I would just wire it to turn on with the rear running lights, not hooked to the turn signals or brake lights. That is pretty cheesy in that video, ha ha.

But I'm still digging it, oddly enough...

Likely yes, I’m impulsively really juiced up on this idea.

Don't forget to do some a write-up of the install. Better yet do YouTube video.

Yes indeed. I'm about 6-8 weeks out from my new ES300h so that would be a good time to order as it will probably take that long to get the light bar

I ordered the black one a couple of weeks ago and have been told the order was delayed due to Chinese New Year. I guess we'll both be the guinea pigs.
