Not sure if that will get you past the law or not but it is a reflector and it does light up red and, for all practicality, it's OEM.

I think you missed my point. As quoted from the legal post above:

-Brake lights on vehicles newer than 1979 must be red (24603 VC).

The lexus LIGHTS are red.

-Two red reflectors are required on the rear of cars and trucks (24607 VC).

That's what the bumper has.

-Incorrect color of turn signal. It must be white or yellow to the front, red or yellow to the rear (24953 VC).

The LIGHTS are.

-Tail lights that incorporate a bulb with a red tint or coating. In general, custom tail lights that incorporate a clear outer shell and red inner lens are legal (24011 VC).

LEGAL

No need to be rude with your responses.

I just made a mistake thinking that the LENSE had to be red.

As I stated earlier, I am well aware of the red reflectors on the bumper and never claimed that they weren't there.

It's obvious that the lights are LEGAL as I doubt any manufacturer would install components that aren't. I was just questioning how they got away with it being legal since I erroneously thought there had to be a red lense in the tail light assembly to be legal.
