�� btw I just purchased a pair in red version. I just think red seem as if they actually came with the car from factory. Hopefully they are easy to install. I have 12 white ISF

I don't have these specific tails, but I do have the 78works version and mine was plug and play on the MY12. Should take no longer than 30 mins.

IMO, the oem lights looked dated even in 2008 when most competitors like Audi, Infiniti, Cadillac had LED offering's. These still somehow made their way into 2014 models, and there's tons of lower end models with similar styles.
+1 on keeping stock parts for when I go to sell cars.

I just installed mine today and decided to post up pictures of all the different styles I have had on my cars. I've had Nigels, Spec-D, OEM ISF and ISx50 and now Vland. The fitment on all of them is actually very good, and all have pretty good quality. These are the best looking IMO and look closest to the 3IS style. The spec-D/78 works have relays/resistors you have to plug together, these are simply plug and play. If anyone has some questions about the differences I'd be happy to answer.

They are not smoked but they are a deeper shade compared to the OEM red color. When lit up they are the same shade as OEM running lights.

Here are a couple photos of day time I snapped on Valentine's Day. A friend of mine was concern about the bulging of the taillights but they are not as pronounced as they look in certain angles.

They are very nice, for against could you give back a valid link or it is possible to buy them? (I also like the fact that it's plug and play and no DIY to do), thanks!

OK I've cleaned up some needless drama from this thread, let's not let it creep back in please.

Reminder that all group buys need to be done through an approved Club Lexus vendor. Either the seller / maker of the lights needs to sign up, or get an existing CL vendor to carry them to host the GB. Please keep the GB chat out of this thread so it can stay open.
