Default LS 400 RCR Lights

Hi Everyone,

I'm looking to buy these Red Clear Red Lights
for my 2000 LS 400

What type of bulbs should I put in? LED'S?
Also are there any concerns I should have with these lights?
Also any pictures of what these look like when they are on and what they look like when you hit the brakes?

Thanks

Here is a picture of my car.

Next mod - (after the light) Painting over the grey to match the car.
Going for the monotone look

I think those tails look pretty cool - until I saw a photo of them lit up. I think only one bulb fits in the panels on the trunk (like stock) and when the white and red lenses light up together, they look pink. Acck.. no thanks!

LEDs might work better because the light won't "bleed" - but IMHO I think they'd look better if only the red portions lit up and not the clear.

Thanks for your response.
I was wondering the same thing about the light on the trunk.

I guess all you could do is put in an LED, but I was wondering what it would look like when lit up..
They look sweet with the lights off?

I'm not sure what I should do now!!

i had the same problem when my dad went to red clear red lights on his 95 LS400. the bulbs they gave him were just red coated bulbs that eventually faded and turned pink. So i got him some polarg red hybrid lens, they work fine, red in the clear part, i'll try and get pics when i go home tmr

really?? i thought that the lines in the outer and inner corners didnt match up so im assuming that the "work" involves somehow aligning the inner tails?

I just ordered the RCR lights from Luxury mods.
I'll post picks in a few weeks after I get them and put them in.
