This is my car right now. I love the LED's in mine but from a distance the 06-08's look so much better. i like the white portion instead of the amber on the 11+'s but it doesn't make much sense to spend that kind of money on.

My 2011 taillights should be waiting for me when I get home. Can't wait to put them on my car!

Never a fan of redouts, never a fan of amber.

I have the ISF tails, love it. One day I will get the 2011, because they're clear too, and "looks" newer. But not now, after I get this, this, this, and that. Then I'll get it.

06-08, 09+ to me look too girly... actually the reason I bought my car instead of an 09 for the same price was because of the tails & rims.

If i downgrade to 06-08, Is it a direct swap? or is there other things needed?

Between the 06-08 and 09-10, I prefer the 09-10 if I did red outs. I think the 06-08 looks really good at night though.

I like my 2011 taillights but I wish they were more white instead of pink.

06-08's here! At first I wanted to switch mine out to the 09-10, even 11's but when I saw them lit, I'm content with what I have. There are many cars out there trying to imitate the LED bulbs (Hyundai!) and the 06-08 sets Lexus apart IMO. I guess the auto industry is jumping on the bandwagon.

Switching from 09/10 to 11+ is a better option as i would only need the outer lights, i don't think sewell sells them separately =(
