sprinter2012 Commented on how much I like this car on your thread on the 'other forum', I think the new rear lights look much better :thumbup1:

Well it's all down to individual taste, but I don't much like the rear lights. Remind me of BMW ones (I know they are red below, not above, but still reminds me of them!) and I prefer the stock lights. Other than that though, the car looks stunning. Keep up the good work.

I agree, they are nice lights but beacuse you see them on corsa's it kinda takes away the shine of them being on a lexus where they belong

Well I disagree. But maybe that is because I know that the IS200 lights are an original idea, whereas all the others are cheap impersonators! Imitation is afterall, the greatest form or flattery!

I appreciate your want for them to be something different, or unique, though, it's just those clusters are not to my taste.

That said, my lights are the dark chrome 2004-2005 spec ones, but are Fly Eye tinted, so you can't really tell! Smile

Steve - I'm going to buy some of those 80/20 splits soon, going for the slightly smoked versions of yours with the fogs to match. I've been thinking the exact same thing as you, getting really bored of seeing lexus lights on every sodding fiesta/saxo/corsa around. Not sure I'll like them, but worst case scenario is I flog them on. I'm going for the stealth/incognito look eventually anyway, so hopefully they will suit.

Keep it up, what is next on the list?

Oh of course, and as long as you like them, screw what me or anybody else thinks anyway! It's the first thing that jumped to my mind though, as I like everything else on the car, and really do not like the covers you previously fitted either. I have black tints on a black car. In my view the only colour combination that tinting works on. I am going for a stealth, like Bandito mentions, black on black. I am soon going to tint out the front headlights, and fogs, (rear lights and fogs already done) and I know that will be very controversial, many will hate it. But I'm going to give it a go, and then decide whether it stays or not.

Seeing as I mentioned it, here is a shot of my bum that I took a few minutes ago. The tints look better when not in bright sunlight (as they are here), in my opinion, and are best in the evening or at night.
