That's more like it.

The bottom section that you made red IS red. When you press the brake, that turns red... bright as hell too... The amber section stays amber though for the turn signals and the inner portion of the bottom is the back-up light... needs to stay white.

Hugh will post pics of them lit up and you'll see...

HUGH! post the pics!!!!!!

That definately looks like some last-minute, thrown together design. I really hope TYC didn't spend more than 5 or 10 minutes designing that crap. That red reflector thing in between the clear and the amber (more like yellow) is REALLY bothering me.

Then finally mass produce the 2 different designs. Oh and for the record Altezza lights are not in the running for a design. We know that a few people will wind up placing these Euro styled

lights on their vehicles.

but... but... that would only be too logical and smart for designers to do....

Seriously, marketing gurus always talk about focus groups and such (look at a couple episodes of The Apprentice to see that). ScionLife forums is an excellent place for designers to get feedback, especially since we can be quite tempermental about our designs (I'm picky).

Having 3-4 mock up designs is a great idea, and if not TYC, hopefully someone will do something like that for another pair of taillights

Thank you!

I dunno 'bout that crap

I think just about the only way I'd think of sticking those on my car would be to smoke em.. way too bright for me.

Yeah those revised ones are ok. I bet they look better on the darker colors verses the lighter ones.
On my AP I am not sure how they would look compared to stock.
Yes they should take our comments seriously since we are the market they are focusing on.
I would still like something a bit different. I like camry lights but again, not sure it is what I want on my tC.

Once again, these look much better in person... the pic makes the brake LED's look orange but they are a bright, bright red.

Well it takes one to know one. Get a life it was a joke ___ munch. Another idiot that can't read. I said ours not mine. Talking about yourself eh? Still mad that mommy named you ernie? Poser. I did laugh at the rice queen part....

ill start off with you...you make fun of my name and call me a poser...your what? 16-18 and you still act as though your 13 hitting purberty dry humping pillows because you cant get any....they lights look good but stop being a little girl because the 40% of the scion life board is filled with people like you who cant give a honest opinion because your not mature enogh to handle another persons response your the kinda guy that will talk ____ about any car because nothing cant equal up to you Tc...then when some shuts you up your comeback is making fun of names and calling them posers...

thats funny. im also glad that you own a tc, and you didnt drop your iq for me..i droped it for you because im sorry im 21 and the last person i ever heard say the word poser and pick on my name was 15. So you really need to get back on your meds buddy....

i pray that you parents dont smoke any pot with there next kid
