LED Reflectors- 4G TL

Has anyone replaced the current reflectors on the rear bumper with LED ones? If so, can you provide some instructions

The LED reflector thing would be pretty cool. I'd be careful to find LED's that match the rear end though. A good idea can look really cheesy if it doesn't flow well with the car.

I wish I took pictures of a 12+ BWP I saw last year with LED's in the deflectors, looked surprisingly nice.

I think it would look nice on Pots Acura since he has them partially blacked out. It would give out a nice strip of light. Just my opinion

Here is my
My have a dual filament set up and i was lucky to find a set of these rear LED reflector as it was off a Toyota Alphard.
I cut it apart and then cut off the stock TL reflector and stick it together.



Stand alone with parking light on


Brake lights on

Those look surprisingly good actually - I imagine it wouldn't look as clean on the older 4gs as their rear reflectors are much bigger, but I guess without photos I'm just speculating.

In case anyone else was interested in how the 09-11 models look with the LED reflectors.



Here's the thread I found the above picture in.

I see what you mean. I'd like to see more pictures before passing final judgement but it does look better on the 2012+ models.
