IS300 3rd brakelight

I was behind a is300 today (while sitting in traffic) and noticed that the 3rd brake light on the spolier was all clear. Ours is a red reflector. I thought maybe it was a mod of something but there was an older guy driving. I'm not saying they don't mode but the rest of the car looked stock. There is a glass place near my house and they do really good work. I was thinking of bringing the piece from my spolier brake light there and seeing if they can replace it with a clear one or somehow clear it out....anyone know what I'm talking about?

I'm getting mine pretty soon. Once I got that I'll let you know how it works. Maybe it is about time I take some updated pics of my car too

Hey Andrew,

Why don't you just get the clear spoiler lights? If you have correct measurement, you can get it.

post up them new pics!

Tatewaki,

I think you should post up them updated pics! I am very curious as to what your mods look like... headed up to T.O. this w/e to pick up an OEM body kit from Woodbine Acura. Saved a bundle thanks to a fellow forum member.

Gonna bite the bullet and drive it home (4 hrs) and do the install myself (with a friend). With the $$$ I save (C$350 + tax), I'm looking into springs & sways.

'02 EBP TL Type-S
mods: OEM spoiler, PIAA 9006 fogs, tints 20% sides & rear
future mods: OEM body kit (tomorrow!), springs & sways, yellow (Folitec paint) calipers (soon)

I wanted the entire thing to be clear because you can hardly notice it on the IS and it looked really clean.

Talking

Great news everyone! I just got the clear lens LED spoiler assembly. It is the exact same replica of the OEM assembly It's 3:20am, I took the wing apart and tried to put it in, perfect fit! :wow: It's kinda late now and I want to get back to the Korean worldcup game. So I just put the wing back together. But I'll install it tomorrow. Can't wait! :jump I'll see if I can get some pics this weekend. If not, pics will be here next week.

Thumbs up Install success!!

Installation complete! Pics will come on later this week. It looks better than I expected. It goes really well with 02 tails I highly everyone with spoiler to go get one. I got mine from http://www.transformspoilers.com 67$us shipped. Ask for Van. The place is in Alberta so it's easy for Canadian TLers.

Could you link right to the item itself or provide a model number? I can't seem to find one for the Acura TL
