And you did us all the favor of turning on that rear light bar. Bless your soul. It looks slightly different than what was advertised though. Looks good regardless.

Thanks. I think Lexus did a fantastic job on the front and rear styling....except for using incandescent halogens as turn signals in the rear. It's ridiculous. Lol. It throws everything off. You totally don't expect it, but notice it.... as soon as you turn the rear turn signals on.

It's like selling a high-end pre-built gaming PC, without the GPU.

Agreed haha. I'd become a BMW driver because I'd be ashamed to turn the blinkers on lol

BMW definitely has their act together, when it comes to using LEDs. Lol.

A front end like this, shouldn't have halogens anywhere!


Also the side profile with the rear end lights going towards the rear quarter panel looks so sick!

It's such a stunning profile. I'm honestly torn on the color that you have. In the garage I couldve sworn is was Ultrasonic Mica. But now in the sun it looks like Grecian Water.

The color is Grecian Water. The amount of daylight, has a serious effect on the color. Sometimes it can look like Ultrasonic blue, other times it can look like primary purple. I've seen all the colors in person. It's probably pretty obvious, which color is my favorite lol.

I can't wait to try out those rear turn light LED'S..... if they arrive on Sunday like they're supposed to, I should be able to take care of it in a timely manner. I'm off work that day🙂👍

I still haven't received the LED lights from Amazon. Amazon waited until the very last moment to ship. Now they're late.

The left is LED, the right is incandescent. I let them both run for 30 minutes. Still no hyperflashing.

Heck yeah!! I’m happy for you man. Thank you for sharing the pictures and video. What do you think of the color. Some people were saying it was more yellow than amber but it looks fine to me in the video.

Oh damn you’re the man for running them 30 minutes. I was scared that after a while it would hyperflash. And 30 minutes is definitely an extreme test. Did you by any chance measure the temperature to the touch? Like does the house get hot?
