   Not into them myself, would rather a set of mk1 rears if i was going for a darker look. But they are better than a lot of lights out there!

   Not for me ...
   Also you cannot see the rear reflectors making them ILLEGAL for road use.
   If you did buy these, I'm fairly certain you would need to fit additional reflectors to your car to compensate.
   They may "Allow light to pass" but if they don't reflect light light, you car is near invisible parked up at night.
   
   AVOID

   Ah I wanted a set of these myself, maybe not as dark but similar, are they actually illegal coz me and my mates can get pulled up a lot by the police in our area so probs wouldn't let me off if I did buy a set, anyone know any sites that do em. Not much choice on eBay...

   Only difference would be is that a pro would use a compressor with a spray gun.If you took your time & masked off properly they`d come out good.Just remember light coats,if they come out too dark then lightly sand them down.

    Lexus lights just ruin the car, i think it can make the car look 10x worse just for having them tbh but everyones got their own opinion i guess, but yeah i think il buy some tinting spray and go from there

    They look good man, but a little too dark IMO.. If you do get them, post a pic. Wouldn't mind seeing what they would look like on the car bud.
