Default 3IS style tail lights

Hey guys.

I stumbled upon these tail lights and found that Nigel is selling them.

Opinions? The red lense units are really growing on me.

It's only available In Japan, and they do not ship international, i believe. I contacted them. Some of my friend's in japan who own IS has them. Yes comes in four colors , and i believe they are located in soshigaya Japan. It's roughly around $350 US Dollars. They are really nice LED and it makes your car look more luxurious.

There's way too much bright white in those, they look a lot better in the smoked version.

Here is the website you can actually order them from, and it looks like they're 38,200 yen ($275): http://www.78-works.jp/shopbrand/006/X/

Hmmm.... Call me crazy but they don't look that bad, nice innovative features on them especially for the price.

I agree, I don't hate them but I don't love them in the red & white style. I really like the smoked color, expecially for my SGM, or this model with the black lenses instead of red. I still don't like the bright white lines though, but they would probably look okay on a white 2IS as shown in the pic

Yea I liked the smoked version to, but again for the price that's pretty good if you can get them shipped here. If they are a true plug and play with the stock lights and all you have to do is swap them out not bad imo.

They look pretty nice when lit up at night:


As for when they're not lit up, I think I really only like the smoked versions... Like others, the white bar is just too bright inside of the taillight housing for my tastes.
