You can buy it from ebay. type in "1999 rx300 led tail light". its a little more than $250 for the set. Also,they have couple of different types of leds, Depends on your color of your rx. The smoke red and white or the clear red and white.

Here's my filthy RX after the recent snow storm that left nearly a foot of snow.

Poor thing. I'd love to wash it, but it's 7 degrees outside right now...

It does great in the snow, everyone around me is spinning tires and i'm just moving along nicely. I have no trouble getting moving since I have AWD, but you still have to brake early. I find the ABS kicks in a bit too easily compared to my other cars, but that could also be because my brakes are very strong and grabby.

I've had it in more than 22 inches of unplowed snow (few years ago), and it did very well. This recent storm that dropped about a foot of now on us was a piece of cake for the RX. Had no trouble at all.

Jimbug, your rx looks clean. Are you planning to do anything to it? any upgrade?

Lexusblack, I don't have any plans as yet, but I may get some ideas from this forum.

nice rims..looks good on the car.
Also i see that the front roof rails might hit the sunroof when you tilt it. Does it hit or could be that the roof when tilted is perfectly aligned with the rail.

Thanks! I read from the Lexus history that the previous owner at 25k miles said that the original wheels were chipping, so he had them put these chrome wheels on. I didn't know if I liked them at first, but they are growing on me. I'm so used to the original wheels which I like.

I'll have to tilt the roof to see if it clears the bar. Or better yet, move it back a little to make sure it clears.

I found some of my favorite music cassettes to play on my commute today. Been awhile since I've listened to a cassette in a vehicle. Not CD quality, but not that bad either.
