the car is so new, i don't thikn anyone has tried it yet. the shape looks the same

people have been able to put 04+ ls430 taillights (led) on older yrs with some modification to the wiring at the harness, so there are chances

Default yeah

i've got an 02 sc but have gotten the 06 tails .... installation was done in the dealership (piece of cake) looks much better especially if you've got a darker color sc.

i'd think you can purchase them from the dealer as well (which is what i did)

you guys know anyone thats riding on 20*8.5 front and 11 back ? if yeah please tell me how its going ! thanks

I have two on order. Should have them installed late next week along with my wheels. Don't ask about price as I get a VERY VERY VERY low price from my Lexus manager buddy on items. Much less than any vender here can get them for me. List is $256.00 or so each. Figure around $100 back from Ebay on the old ones.

Guys !!! hehehe alright sorry didn't log in for some time. Cant post pics in the moment cuz i'm currently out of the country. and to answer your questions, yeah it was EXTREMELY quick and simple. No complications what so ever, was done in the local lexus bodyshop. Only downside is that the signal in the speedo guage lights up and wont stop giving off the burnt bulb signal. They look beautiful. Also, i installed the clear bulbs in the same time so it kinda is a catcher for those who appreciate the sc.

To be honest with you it makes the car look wider from the back


You guys ! i need advice, i've ordered tein springs for my car and want to install these 20" staggered wheels How wide can i go ? would it rub ?

regarding the burnt bulbs warning light, i think it shouldn't be too hard to fix well, we will see when i get mine done. or maybe lee will figure it out before i do

I'm thinking a resister in line should prevent that light from coming on.
We will see

lee, smart people think alike that's pretty much what we need to do. and with the old light it's very easy to figure out the resistance value. i was just talking to gsxotic this past weekend about the taillights. he wants them but he worries about the warning light.

lee, let's figure out the problem and charge gsxotic a fortune for it

Yep I agree. Don't forget to order the harness as well. I am told it is required for the new lights and that adds about $20.00 for each light. Now the top reflector on the trunk is a different number. They go for around $75.00 each but I held off on those as right now I do not know what difference between two variations.
