Hi All! I like the new Lexus truck w the clear tail lamps funny how several years ago when many were buyin clear tail lamps for their cars thye got their ball$ busted and lotz of tixx. I think they look sweet but only w some colors. I wonder if they make ones to fit the tl thats one thing ive never seen r cars w clears tails....At the NYC autp show there was a Z4 w clear tails and they were listed as an option has anyone ever seen the tl w clear or altezza lamps if so where can u get em. But just thought it was funny to see something that was for a long time punishable now is standard equip....

this is me

That would be rice!!

i dont think if they were made right and were like the lexus truck and or if u used the right bulbs not the ones that fade to pink or orange after a week

this is me

On a TL, it will look RICE!!! no matter what.

are you talking about RX-300? Those tail lights have been on since 2001 model.

It's the new RX-330 that he was talking about. The RX300 was just the altezza kind.

nym31mp

no the new truck the rx 330 im talkin about i know the diff between them and the altezza.........................the more i see em the more i like them i havent gotten that close to one but it may be just a regualr red taillamp w a think clear reflector....but i dont know how lexus made em street legal cause i though that clear tails were almost always illegal not matter what bulbs u used??????????

haven't found any real good pix. I did see one on the freeway. In the sun I couldn't tell if he was braking or not. I'm not sure I like the all clear yet.

The RX 330 lights are totally different than the 2001-2002 RX 300 lights. It is supposed to be harder to copy since everyone and their momma throws Altezzas on their car ALA IS 300/Toyota Altezza.

it's legal because of the red reflectors on the bumper.

i haven't seen how the brake lights look at night, but they suck in the daytime. i think they should have put a red lense on the tails, like all the other manufacturers w/ led tail lights on their cars.

too bad they're not hard to copy. all u need is money to buy some bright led's.

nym31mp

i do like em and have seen em both nite and day but like i said i only like em whn the car coor is white,silver or black i have seen em on a lex truck that was tan/cream color looked horrible if someone doops em and im sure some aftermarket comp will i personally think thell look sweet on my tls mine is white so....but time will tell but ill def be lookin for em

Looking at your handle name, it's probably just a matter of time before you get the APC version on your car huh?

IMO they should have ditched the altezza look a long time ago when everyone and their mom had them on every car they owned. to me the only car that looks right with them on is the original: IS300, nothing else...

If you are brave enough you can open up your tail light casing and fit the inside full of LEDs. I thought about doing it, but it's tedious

iNteGraz92

of course not, i don't have any craptezzas or anything on my car. are you just mad i shut you down regarding your "harder to copy " post?

iNteGraz92

http://clearcorners.com does custom LED tail lights. they probably cost a lot since it's all custom.

Correct. Clear tails will always be illegal unless they meet the DOT spec, which includes a red reflector in the rear. All vehicles that come with clear tails as OEM (think Lexus IS 300, RX 330, etc) have red reflectors elsewhere in the back. Just about every clear tail lense out there is not street legal by itself.
