Well I sealed them up and install them this morning. I'm very happy with them. Like said before pictures don't do justice. Seeing them in person is a must.

I've bought this set from K2 on two separate occasions. Once on my 2012, and now on my F. No idea why they say 06-08 x50 only.

MAizz,

Are your red side markers horizontal? Mine are horizontal, but they slightly point down a little closer to the trunk. It's the same in both sides. Do I hope that's normal. I've seen another post where one person said one side came undone.

Default 2006-2008 vs 2009-2012?

Don't mean to bring back a dead thread, but I just bought a 2010 Lexus IS250. It seems like many aftermarket parts won't fit the 2009+ because of a change in fitment? Can anyone confirm or are you guys putting the 2006-2008 aftermarket parts on the 2009+ and its working without any adjustments because I see many of you put them on? (I'll be going with k2motors on eBay) Really love the lights dude!

They should be good for 06-13. I just put some on last week on a 2010 IS250. Seal them up if you can to prevent any condensation in the future. Let the silicon cure for 24 hours before installing.

Yes, both are horizontal with a slight downward angle, equal on both sides.

Yes, I ran these style lights from K2motors on eBay on my 2012 IS350 for over a year and now on my 2011 ISF for about a month. No issues, everything is plug and play.

Thanks so much for your help MAizz and tits82. I just placed my order with k2motors. I messaged them they said they wouldn't fit, but I figured since they're just Customer Service Representatives they're just going based on what the packaging says. I just bought my 2010 IS250 (it's my first Lexus) and although I'm not looking for performance mods I'm working on making it looked refreshed.

Like 'em very much, but..... after ~ 6 month....
On my IS350 Spec-D tail lights recently started to flicker only when engine is running.
Battery is 1 year old. Alternator is good...
Any ideas? Anyone noticed slight flickering?

Mine have the slightest flicker when idling. If the gas is depressed at all or the ignition is off I do not have a flicker. 2011 ISF for reference.

Does both sides flicker or just one?

Assuming you bought it from K2 Motor. What's the warranty they give? Call them up and explain your issue. YMNK they might replace them.

Whatever MAizz said - same issue, both sides....

I thought of adding voltage stabilizer or something.

Any particular reason some of these styles are like $225-$250 and then some are $400? I've run these brand tails on my Cummins and there was never price variances like that.

Just get the ones from K2motor on eBay. The prices vary on eBay what your describing, but the K2 motor style is the best option. Just seal them up for protection. People always tailgate me at night trying to check them out. LOL
