Exclamation need help!! Lexus GS2 LED Tail light

Guys, I found an offer in ebay about GS2 tail light. Here's the link :

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/98-00...Q5fAccessories

my question is whether anyone knows if this LED tail light is plug n play for my 2000 GS400. and is it going to throw lights (error/malfunction light) on dashboard? because I heard from several people who replaced their OEM tail lights with LED, changing them will throw code on dashboard.

anyone can help me with this?? please! thanks

I'm pretty sure you're going to have malfunction light on the car, you need to by a bypass for it. I had the light on my car.

the only problem you're gonna have is the dash light going on when you step on the brakes because its gonna think that your tail light bulb is blown. With a load resister or "bypass" it tricks the sensor. there are a lot of threads on this topic.
