OK, thanks, I think this was answering my question, right? Laozy, I personally don't care for the silver tape, looks cheap to me, but that's just my 2 cents.

Laozy, the silver tape kinda resembles the 00-01 tails pretty well, but looks funny with the taillights on because of the "red" reflection. Got any daytime pics?

Eric, sorry but I'm a little confused; did you try orange bulbs in the clear signals or not?

hey, hey~

if i didn't like es300's tail...i would search jdm parts if they have any tail lights for es300.

if no 1 has different tail lights i will just keep them as is (factory=JDM baby!) or paint them 1/2' thick all around. hmmm,,, hard to explain this paint job.....

good luck

Wink Sure..

I'll do it as soon as i have time, but I am telling you that the clear ones are bad ***... They are bright as hell, and are really white.. I 'll get pics asap.
