Default Pics Request: Clear tails on a silver 2GS

Interested to see what these look like. I did a search that didn't turn up anything. All e-bay has are smoked lights--are there all clear out there?

I realize I'd need a red reflector in the rear somewhere to make it legal.

Here's what I'm going for:

Yeah I checked that... This is close, but I want the outer tails to look the same as the inner tails:

That's a Hybrid logo. The $100k+ LS Hybrid uses it as well.

what part of it don't you like??


As for clear tails. I've seen various versions of GS tails including all clear.

This is a black housing, but I've seen chrome and ALL clear except a small reflector.

Props to those for being successful enough to afford 'em, but JP tails are STUPID in my opinion, and I won't put 'em on my car. Insurance aren't so bad, though...I hafta look at those again... (Sonar seems to be what everyone raves about quality/fitment-wise, so I was kinda lookin' at those.)

WOW ALtezza lights.....These are so played out. And IMO a very untasteful mod!! Its a great mod if you drive a 92-95 civic and buy all your aftermarket parts at pepboys!! Not on a Lexus tho!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It will make your car look horrible!! If you do buy them though dont forget your "Type-R" sticker and underbody neon lights

OK, ok...I guess I see your point(s). So what about clear inners with red/clear outers like on the car above?

I would agree with this, NOT ON A LEXUS.
But i also think being differnt is also ok too, if you like them and it fits your style then get them. I'm pretty sure alot of other peeps would dig these.
