If so many people just bothered to search in the beginning, we could put tail lights in the search and those tail lights would probably pop up.

But yea, you cannot just "take off the yellow", these tail lights are aftermarket made in Japan. $800 a set?

Doesn't look at all classy (LS460) if you ask me...

Bordeaux Pearl (3L4)

Online Price: $9.00


Genuine Lexus touch-up paint provides an exact match to your vehicle’s original color. The only choice to cover minor scratches while maintaining the integrity of your vehicle’s quality finish.

lexus-parts.com which is Sewell Lexus is calling it Bordeaux Pearl. But that's fine , it's still an unbelieveable color

These are awesome! Seen a set just like that for sale on some website a while back. Wish I had $800 or so to get a set of those

or a s13 (240sx) rear. Now I could see why someone would confuse that SC for a 240.
