Yes sir! Now I am paying the consequences of it. Hopefully she doesn't see that I just spent some of her money on some LED lights

But OP -- Be HONEST with her. You could always ask to borrow them. If she ever intends to resell her car (or you do the same) you could always just swap back, hmm? Either that, or just give her a couple hundred on top. It's better than you just taking them and her later finding out your ripped her. Way to be some friend

Most have been nice... I had to beat them up to get the cards that I wanted and have them return the ones I had lost. Now those same guys are my best friends and give me shyit all the time because they are all doing great things...

LMAO!!! I can't complain though.. she makes more money than I do AND I come home to a full course Dinner! Also, I have an 06 IS250 and I had my lights red out... I've gotten offers to trade with 09 lights.. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

God forbid anything ever happen to the rear of your car, might be a better idea just to switch to some usdm ISF or ebay LED tails incase the new ones ever get smashed up.

Either way, happy modding!

Tell her instead that you will swap taillights with her only if she makes you sandwiches.

Them letting you beat the snot out of them for super kewl Pokemon cards was the best thing that happened to them. At least you still have the Pokemon cards right... RIGHT?

She's going to poison the sammich. Then she'll take both taillights... therefore ultimately: disregard males, acquire profit.

No, seriously, OP -- like another poster mentioned, why not do IS-F tails? I think that would look much cleaner.

Thanks for the advice but she knows that her taillights cost more than mine so...... she won't give them for free.. I would go for the IS-F tails, but no one in local would want to trade + cash. Should i just give her like $300 + mine for hers?

Take her out, make her drunk and swap the tail light. I don't think she will notice the different after she wake up.

Add another $99 to that $300 and get the IS-F tails from Nigel!
