Default Glow and Light up Emblem

Hey everyone, has anyone ever saw a Lexus Emblem that is able to light up and glow in the dark like the Mercedes Emblem Logo?

What do you guys think of those? It doesn't seem like it's popular which I'm wondering why because I think it's a very attractive mod to install.

Well I'm just wondering where can I get those kind of Emblems? Does any Legit places like Sewell sells them?

Here's a link to an example image of what I'm talking about

is this the 2IS? they customised the trunk lines just to install an illuminated emblem?

i mean, it looks nice, but it all seems like a lot of work for a modified emblem.

Those Mercedes with the light up emblems look atrocious to me.. but that Lexus one posted above doesn't look too bad.. seems like it would be a lot of money to have installed though..

They're growing on me especially that manufacturers are starting to do it. The key is not making it too bright or too obvious. Something subtle i can enjoy

I can’t bear to look at the MB ones. It looks so cheap and ugly on theirs, I’m honestly surprised they didn’t make it look better.

Tap wire into your brake running lights so it comes on when your lights are on.

Biggest issue is you need to drill a small hole to feed the wire, I do not want to drill into my trunk behind the emblem, these lights will fail eventuaeven like all other aftermarket led products.
