what do you guys think about the new tail lights verses the old type.and has any one bought them for there older lex to give it a newer look.also what price is the dealer asking for them.I found a place selling them for $330, what do you guys think.

99 gs400
rmm full kit/rmm exhaust
rmm strut brace/rmm intake
l-tuned springs/shocks on 17's

 

a lot of 98-00 owners changed them to the new one, it's a direct swap and you can contact supratrd for it, it's not expensive, around 300 bucks if i remember right, that's the running price

imho though, i like my 98-00 one more. dunno, just don't like the big piece of red

 

Im with you on that Henry, I like the 98-2000 lights better. The big red piece doesn't do it for me.

 

i am kind of new here, sorry if i sound lame but how do i contact
supratrd.thanks in advance for the info.

 

do a search by user name

supratrd


or go to the vendor section...he(steve) is from carson toyota

total is ~$360/set

 

Or you can just e-mail him at gonzo4u@earthlink.com....he's pretty quick on responses....& very good on prices.

"D"

 

yup, he's the parts manager at carson toyota but he can get you pretty much any parts for your lexus. he's a great guy, "stupidly" cheap in prices most of the times.

 

I'm biased of course, but the oder lights too closely resemble a Honda Accord's IMO.

1.) Search on 'tail lights'
2.) Order from Steve Ganz
3.) DIY HERE

 

looks great w/ the new ones.......i like them much better.....steve's price is much better than dealer retail, so i'm doing it.

thanks for the links, etc.

 

At first I didn't like the 01+ lights. Then it really grew on me so I bought a pair . It definately freshens up the back of the car.

 

I used to prefer the 98-00 tails too. The new ones do grow on you. I replaced the tails with the newer ones and never looked back.

 

Although I have the newer style lights, I still prefer the way the '98-'00 lights look at night. The pattern makes it real easy to spot a GS.

 

Question?

So I don't need to buy the whole set-up I just need to buy the lenses right?

I mean I don't have to buy wiring or anything right? Just straight up plug and play?



Peace

 

yea man just the lens, dont buy the whole assembly with the wires and what not. its a real simple DIY, only 4 screws involved for each side takes a total of 10 min to swap.

Dude......


No, that's wrong. The wiring is different for the newer style lights. You need the wiring assembly, which is attached to the lenses. When you order a set from Steve, they'll include everything you need to PLUG & PLAY.
