Default Tail lights??

Hi All, I am in the process of deciding between the new ES 350 and the RX 350. I know, 2 completely different automobiles!

I am leaning toward the Rx because it is an SUV and that is initially what I wanted but fell in love with the ES when I saw it.

About the RX though.....I love it but I absolutely despise the tail lights. Are there any aftermarket lights that are red and available for the RX? The lights are awful and make the RX look cheesy in my opinion.

Any suggestions?

Perfect!! Although it says it is for the rx300-330 and the rx 400. They will fit the 350 right?

These are really perfect, thanks for the link!!

They should fit, there's no change on tail lights from RX330 to 350.
But call them just to make sure.

The stock lights on the RX330 never appealed to me, but these ones shown fromm L-Tuned give it a better look.

So true...

With my black RX300, the 2001+ tailights would standout a little more than the red 1999-00 ones I have now.

Funny, I absolutely love the stock taillights and consider them the most distinctive feature of the RX330/350/400h. All other SUVs look like any SUV, but not so with this car because of the distinctive taillights.

I agree with the above. I think the taillights make a bold fashion statement that is elegant and distinctive. The replacements pictured above make it look like just some other Saturn.

Still, there is no accounting for taste.

Not to mention, with these clear lenses, it is very easy to tell if an rx330 is braking, even if the rear of the car is facing direct sunlight. Other cars the brakelights look like they're always on if their rear end is facing a setting sun.
