Now everyone can have these since its NOT a DIY project, and pretty inexpensive...imo.

wow talk about bringing up history...after i posted pics i got a crap load of PM's haha.

anyways LXOGOOD has the real kit...his installer hooked it up to a rocker switch i believe.

I MADE MY OWN KIT...this is not the real deal....FAKE FAKE FAKE but still same effect haha....I tapped into the footwell lights....this is an EASY project for any hardcore DIYer. 45 bucks and a liter of pepsi and a little labor...

I posted a question in electronics about taking some undermount pictures but no response. Can anyone take some pictures how it was installed? Did you drill holes into the frame, if you don't have side skirts? I'm thinking of doing it to the RX....

What is your point?

mods like this suck for a guy like me....


as much as I'd love to get it, I can't install this type of stuff myself so the labor to have someone do it, plus the cost of the mod makes it almost prohibitive to me.




I do like it though, as it kinda replaces the riced out and played out liteglow and adds a touch of class that the lexus deserves

From what I understand, it doesn't cost all that much (around the price for new 2001+ taillights) and most of the work involved is just screwing the LED panel onto your car bottom right behind the sideskirts. I think it's quite DIY-able.
