Hey drewfx, I had those for a while, but when you brake, it get's brighter by only a little so it's kind of dangerous. If you're going to get these, I'd make sure you have a third brake light somewhere. Other than that, I really like how these look and they will look good on your car.

its amazing how many people ask the same questions, no wonder the mods get irritated!

either get 01+ tails, sonar/wise tails from carson toyota, or authentic jp tails.

I personally have the carson tails and they light up just fine at night. You can find them on ebay as well. I think your link has them on it.

The 'search' function is located between the 'new post' function and the 'quick links' function to the left of the 'log out' function.

No need to hassle on ebay just use the l tuned site. You can google in "Carson Toyota" and talk to Luis with aftermarket parts directly. L-tuned is a subsidiary Lexus aftermarkets part website w/ Carson Toyota. They have group deals and have promo codes available all the time for CL members. They only sell the highest quality parts, are reputable on this site, have stellar customer service, and give you a warauntee.

Drew, the ones you posted are actually made by Sonar.

They're a good buy for the money. If you have the time, you can get some red vinyl wrap and cut a piece to cover some of the white. It will look similar to Junction Produce tails, the holy grail of all 2GS taillights. They might also have some fitment issues. There's a thread on them on the 1st page about a fitment problem.

Did you ever think about clearing the orange? Without the orange, the 98-00 tails look pretty damn good. There's also a mod to rewire the tails so that when you reverse, the top light turns on as well. You can find the DIY on a sticky on the 1st page.

Good luck!
