yeah.. the top part is now the reverse light, thus why it's clear.

Ya, I finally saw an 08 this weekend. The headlights I could live with... but still do not like the tails. At all.

After looking at other pics I find them really ugly, but I do like the clear part

I don't know if I should go with the new stock ones or the other tail lights that they offer which aren't new....but they're different. Which one do you guys think I have a better chance of customizing and doing a tail light paint job on them?

what color is your car first of all?

i like the new taillights as they are on a lighter colored car, but they'll need to be smoked, imo, on a darker colored one.

Sizzling crimson. I might go with the TYC that they offer but I'm not sure. If I take the stock ones everyone is going to have that and I'm not sure how I want to smoke them. With the upgrade I kind of have an idea of what I want to do. What do you think?

not many people have the new '08 tails vice the TYC's

but yea.. with the darker colored SCM, imo, it looks out of place and you'll need to smoke the tails to make them look better.

the TYC's i would too... up to you at this point if you want to spend the money and how much

How much does it usually cost to do any type of smoking?

Those aren't the stock lights, those are optional euro lights from toyota. Available for all years of tc, though they came out 2 years ago.

No, the tail lights in the picture up there are brand new for the '08 models.

You are right, this is what I was talking about, they looked like the optional lights from the side.

Oh god hahaha. No seriously, can I have the dealership do it or should I bring it to a paint or tint shop?

I just posted the pics from the 2008 tail lights, 2 posts above yours, look at the one that has "2008 Lights" over it.

As far as smoking, the dealerships don't do it. You have to do it your self, either get the vinyls or the spray. The spray is easier to apply but harder to maintain, whereas the vinyls are a pain in the rear to put on the tc but once they are there, you are good.
