I ordered these lights and got them today and just finished installing them. I will take more photos tomorrow and will post them later.

Here's one more photo. My IS250 is breakwater blue metallic. Not sure if you can tell by the photos. I bought these lights on ebay. The installation was easy and took about an hour. The trunk pieces don't fit as perfect as the OEM lights, but it's hardly visible. Other members also mentioned something about the fitment issue.

i actually just got these on my black onyx...i actually had redouts before but i got rear ended really badly (jerks who don't pay attention/falling asleep in the morning)...guy's Dodge Ram basically had no damage other than a bent bumper bar...but my poor IS trunk was completely destroyed...bumper was gone...3/4 tail lights were gone..hit me so hard that i actually hit the guy in front (and i had at least half a car length behind the guy and we were just stuck in traffic...i wasn't even moving!) and i cracked the front bumper too...somehow tho...my front and rear lips were perfectly fine...my HKS was fine too! so that was a relief!

long story short...my estimated dmg was $10000...eventually i got $12000 for the repair from insurance...my main prerogative was to get LEDs since i don't think mine was LED (first batch 2006 in Toronto)...anyway i got the grey "smoked" ones but they aren't nearly as dark as i thought they were..i might just end up getting some aerotects and steel tinting them (i think smoked will be too dark and illegal in toronto...but then our cops are super chill so i need to look into that)

anyways here are the pics (took them with my galaxy s2..i love this "little" phone hehe)! i'm not used to them at all (so different from redouts):







i'm getting mixed reviews..some of my friends think they are much better than the redouts...some gave me a bowl of rice...what ya'll think?

IMO if these lights will look good it will be on a black car, so your good. But personally I would LIGHTLY tint them.
