Question New Lights! BUT YaY or Nay...

Just fitted some near rear lights, as I feel the bug eye rear's are not as nice as the current shape.

I tried not to get they Max Power Lexus Light Look. I've tried to make it look as unchanged as possible.

I must admit I'm not 100% sure with the results. So what do you guys think?

They are easy enough to take off, so time for a vote!

TBH the difference is so minute unless you actually see them on a car parked next to an unmodified on then you probably wouldn't notice. You might aswell keep em if your happy with them.

Indeed that's what I was going to do, but cutting into the bumper didn't sound to good!

Yes they are now clear.

Much better, have seen these in the flesh on other cars and the more 'lexus' look suits the lines of the car better IMHO.

I like them alot,you will have to let us all know how they go regarding water ingress, how well the lenses are sealed. Nothing makes a set of aftermarket lights look worse than a load of condensation

Keep them.

I've had them on my 2002 JDM STi for nearly 2 years now, and haven't had any problems with condensation.
Changed the orange indicators bulb to a Philips Silver version.
