I like your white-on-black theme, including the wheels; looks slick; bigger wheels of the same kind would look even better. I'd like to see how the "version 2" or update/custom modification of these tail lights, with the two reds together, look on some SC's, if it looks about the same or not. I like how they look similar to the Supra tail lights' light pattern, giving the nod to the Beast from the East:

Thanks for compliment I'm glad someone approves of them a little bit at least. The reason I got them is because like you said i'm going for a black and white theme so why would I not put them on the car? Haha....well these new ones do look nice and I would definitely like to see these smoked as well. As soon as I get some money i'm getting a friend a mine's 07 IS350 rims to pretty much finish the car off.

These were selling on eBay and I messaged the seller and he said someone in AUS custom-makes them from apparently the regular ones like yours. I think these custom ones might look decent with and/or without being smoked, but I know the ones you have look better smoked without a doubt. BTW, didn't even notice you had a 97+, those are very nice; wish I had bought a 97+.

That's pretty interesting that he custom makes them from the oem ones. Yea maybe someone else will get these new ones and post pics of them sometime. Yea mine is a 97 and I'm very happy with it

I just got them on my '93 SC300. I'm having the same problem but my dash lights were always like that. I'm going to try modifying my original wiring to fit the tail light by cutting the bulb fixtures out that i don't need and soldering the wires so the car (hopefully) won't think a bulb is burned out. It may be a while before i get time to do this but i'll let u know how it goes.

Default my altezzas

Here r my altezzas on my ’93. I don’t think they look too bad but I’m looking for someone to tint them. I have no experience with tint and have heard it’s difficult. Big thanks to P.R.S.22 for info on painting badges. I’m very happy with the way they turned out
