Hey Guys Long Time Since I posted,

Anyway over the weekend I took on the adventure of Installing these

IJDMTOY.COM Led Reflectors http://store.ijdmtoy.com/Lexus-IS250...s-p/75-419.htm

Well First I Felt That The Red Plastic Was To Bright And Needed To Be smoked.
So I Had them painted at my body shop.



Then I Ordered These Really Cool things From amazon called Posi Taps
No Soldering No Crimping No Cutting , Check out Videos on youtube you will see what i mean.


Then The Install Began


After I finally Found out how to Remove the rear bumper,

You Have to push the lining in and look up with a flashlight you will see like a plastic
tunnel big enough for a socket , i believe it was #10 or #12 loosen than up on both sides,
and your half way off.

the more obvious screws were located, when the trunk is open, on the L and R edge where the trunk meets the bumper underneath a painted to match pop off cover.

and then Boom she pulls off

next you will need to take out the tail lights, so right above the bumper screws near the trunk

you will find two more black plastic pop off covers, remove those to access the two screws using again #10 or #12 socket and then just pull the light , it feels like your going to break it but then boom she comes out.


you do your wiring connections

For the reflector: black is ground, green w/ white tracing is the parking light, red is brake light, white is turn signal. Tail lamp harness: black is ground, red is parking light, green is brake, green with yellow tracing is the turn signal.

Its Wired as follows:
Black to black, green to red, red to green with white tracing, white to green with yellow tracing.

Then ya slap everything back together and boom
here is a video

I love them.

 

Looks great! Where are you located in NY?

 

Yonkers, actually... and I Work in The Bronx.

How About you Kylestones? What Part Of NY are you located in?

 

Looks great, I have a set in my passenger seat waiting to be installed but still deciding on a diffuser so I can do it all at once. Did you happen to tint your taillights as well?

 

No Tail Lights Are Factory.

The bumper is Easy to take off once you figure out where the hell the screw's are only 4 total

the rest is snap and clip.

that difuser is annoying the clips you have to pinch from inside

 

I've actually taken off the rear bumper before. Last September I ordered the Seibon diffuser... had my rear bumper off in preparation... and it arrived cracked. Just deciding if I should order the same one again this time around.

 

thats all personal preferance, my theme became gloss black and white once i completed the vinyl

roof wrap in gloss back , now its simple for me to not choose carbon fiber, if i wrapped the roof in

carbon fiber then maybe then i would .. Seibon is nice stuff, very $$$exy !

 

I'm out on the island, don't think I've seen a modified 3IS out on the road yet

 

thats terrible

 

I'll have to say these are pretty nice man. I might have to get a pair too. Did you have to smoke the lights? I'm curious as to how differently they looked from the original ones.

 

These are the stock photos you can get an idea from Here

 

Wow, that's cool! I'd definitely do that to mine!

 

thats dope.. i might do that

 

Thanks for posting this. I bought a pair some months ago and it didn't have any install instructions.

 

Pretty sweet. I kind of want to plasti dip my reflectors black because they seem unnecessary but this would be a great alternative.
