Hmm ... dare I say it? Oh, what the heck!

I think, possibly because of their shape, they actually look OK.

They are a tad pricey, though.

The price is to put people off from buying them and quite rightly so.
Someone post a pic of the rear of their 75/ZT and I'll ps them on.

I instantly disliked them because theyre Lexus, but on a nice clean dark coloured 75, smoked may just possibly look good. One of those need to see its. I dont think Lexus lights always looks pap, i mean they look good on the Lexii :oops:

Yeah I think with a tint they could look pretty good.

I actually posted the idea up as a sarcastic comment.

However, it WOULD be worth seeing what they look like :)

I am going to hate saying this but they do look fairly good although I'd never ever have them myself

They would look quite good. I thought as much.

It started out as a joke ... but ... who knows? :wink:

They look chavvy.

Sorry, but the only cars that look good with lexus lights are lexus IS200/300s, Mazda 6s and I have seen a couple of beemers that looked good with them.

Other than that they just look dire.

On the 75 they look silly, the body consists of lots of smooth large panels, then you get to the light and there's just a muddle of different shades, shapes and colours in one patch. It just doesn't go. Rover got it right with the 2 tone simplistic lights... matches the style of the car... smooth and relaxed, rather than a muddle of crap.

uber tak!

the best thing that can be done, if any, is to lightly tint the oe lenses, which is why I think the PS'd pick looks gd IMO.

tbh I still prefer my ZT kept untouched - it's so fresh, quiet and smooth :D
