I don't know about any other aftermarket tailights, but if you get the factory 01+ lights from the Lexus dealership you will be fine...OEM quality is pretty high.

Just make sure you seal them and you're good to go. I have aftermarket tails and hasn't leaked yet

If you want the OEM 01+ tails, I'm sure that some members who have installed the LED tails want to sell their OEM.
