Review and installation of the HC Motion Animated Taillights for my Lexus 2IS, IS250. We do a in-depth review of the build quality and features. Since these didn't come with a rubber strip on the top, so I had to use an OEM rubber strip for body kit lip.

They make the non adjustable and one with dial to adjust speed for same price.
If you wanted added protection, use a ceramic coating like Armorshield IX from AvalonKing. This is important for aftermarket lights to prevent oxidation and hazing.

Great video. And an extra thank you for explaining the fog lights =) now I definitely gonna get them. One question tho, does the speed of sequential turn light match the Vlands turn light or is it different speed so it gets mismatched after a while?

As the headlights? IDK. Can’t tell since front and back. Plus way sequential works is the pulse triggers the motion and how ever long it takes, it takes.

[@Mrbasspro95]

Awesome. Considering this after vland nice review, question for you in person which one looks better ? Vland or HC ? Because the lights on day looks like por Idknow it is by camera but I saw like this in this video ?

[@TunerwithKids]

I think these look better. The camera auto exposure makes the colors more bright. These are pretty bright in person. The brake lights also go across trunk and quarter panel lights. OEM brakes are only quarter lights, trunk is reverse and parking only.

Hi Binh. Will I need to install LED Flasher relay to install Vland headlights and HCMotion taillights? Also for the rubber seal you don’t wrap it all the way around the taillights just partial so water can drip down correct?

You really don’t need relay since there are resistors built in but some cars act up and need more resistance. I already had a relay so mine work fine.

In the product description for the ones you linked to Amazon (sold by inginuity time) it says, "Reverse Light Only On Passeger Side (White Light). Fog Light Only on Driver Side (Red Light)." What does this mean? Thanks!

For Europe or Japan they require a rear “fog light”. So those cars are wired so that the fog light illuminates that combo. USDM doesn’t have this so it operates normally.
