Gosh darnit, I already live in the highest taxed state in the U.S. and now I have to worry about some LED's which I don't even have yet may start letting rain water or car wash water in, wait we have no rain here in socal, we have a drought, lol, but just in case I may get a tube of clear silicone and use it when I do my install, I will buy the most expensive tube of silicone and report back to my fellow lexus members as to my new zero leak led policy

Mine have been installed for a month now and through 3 hand washes and a power wash during detailing. No sign on water / moisture in the trunk. They come with gaskets just like the OEM lights.

This is good news! This is a mod I want to do in the near future, but do not want the horrible results from my last experience. My last set of lights had a large gasket that was the same as the factory one, and the rubber trim gasket that went around the edge, but was likely a bad mold as I started noticing a damp trunk and when i lifted up covers in the back and there were pools of water sitting around the antennae module and GPS DVD player which resulted in my whole center stack crashing

Those are some hot lights. I've been looking to upgrade my tail lights and head lights as well. I've found some afermarket LED headlights, i'm just not sure they'll be adaptable to the AFS system?

You'll be happy with these tails...only thing remains is whether long term reliability matches its looks. From what I can see so far, I have no reason to doubt

Not too sure about any aftermarket headlights though... jus me, but I wouldn't do it
