FrankyX got his out without carpet unclipping i believe. just by taking the globe replacement hatch off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrrrry Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Your indicator lights are amber though right Chris? I think the problem with redouts is that the indicator lights are no longer amber - again not 100% sure so correct me if I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true you need to have "orange/amber" when blinking. im not sure how much amber the red outs emit when blinking. id image more red then orange. if this is true it not only is illegal but looks like a cheap supercheap auto mod. red blinkers on a lexus?. . . . na not stylish at all. if orange it will look awesome.

k2sty1 Posted April 7, 2010 Author Share Posted April 7, 2010 if its illegal, i'll just get em blacked out at a local store shouldnt be that much, i'll get it all blacked out except the white reverse light oh and bought/will buy, the vinyl red outs not the actual light itself ive seen lots of cars on CL with em and anything other than the amber is good for me and if i do get pulled over, i'll just take the vinyl off, lol i found this video it blinks kinda red but i'll just take the chance and put em on if cops pull me over, its my fault, and i'll just take the vinyl off in front of em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilv1004s Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 i dont like them.. looks kinda wierd i dont understand why CL boys go nuts about em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2sty1 Posted April 7, 2010 Author Share Posted April 7, 2010 i quite like em, i guess its personal taste i'd much rather get IS-F tail lights, but im saving for a HKS Hi Power exhaust and this is just a cheap mod, its like $12 so if i dont like em, i can just peel em off anyway takes like 5 mins to put em on as well heres a comparison of IS-F tail lights to the red outs just noticed, damn that roof spoiler is nice, my future mods: OEM lip spoiler JUN roof spoiler black window visors all this before the end of this year, then more in 2011, im gonna keep the car for a while, so i dont want everything at once, plus i cant afford all of it at once anyway, lol and do u guys know how to take off the badges?? i wanna take off the LEXUS and IS250 on the back but keep the emblems thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEX51S Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 So red outs are a vinal that go on out side of tail light?? Thats a little bodgy. I thought they were complete tail light replacement with red lense. Is this right. They look good but if it red blinker, i wouldnt do it. Go isF or all clear.

k2sty1 Posted April 8, 2010 Author Share Posted April 8, 2010 yep its just vinyl that covers the ugly orange part i just bought it to try, since everyone on CL seems to be on about them, they say its great for a cheap way to get rid of the amber and to me the amber part of the light is really weird/ugly and makes the car look bad i'll try em on, if its bad, i'll just take em off, like i said, its $12 so no biggie if it looks bad/flashes red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks hids for fogs arent really feasible for fog. although i imagine they would give good light apart from blinding every one. cevu has drivin with HID fogs. he can elaborate more mine are HID look-a-likes as i wasnt interested in using them for driving at night with but still look hot and NOT "yellow". each globe isnt really a globe its a fake globe covered in SMD LEDs They are HOT!! quite simple really to install. turn your steering to full lock and take out a few clips in the wheel arch and then dont be shy pry your way in taking the wheel arch plastic apart from the front bumper. You can get from ebay but you dont know what your getting cos there is 5 dollar sets to 90 dollar sets and you dont know if your paying heaps for a 5 dollar set etc.. i went to auto joy at parra. 30 dollars each and wish i did it first instead of halogens first. more picks on my facebook.

They ship through FedEx if you order from their site, but they can ship through the US post if you email them. I saved the hassle and had them ship through FedEx (got the items within the week). IIRC, I bought the intake and spoiler at the same time and the total was about $800 (for both items and shipping). Definitely recommend Sewell for OEM parts though.
