Ok, I've put together my best guess. If you have time, take a look and let me know whether my guesses were correct and also how to identify the items at the bottom.
Should I assume that any with the headlight and water button have "Rain-sensing intermittent windshield wipers with mist cycle, headlamp washers and Adaptive"?
Thanks! Does your car have the Pre-Collision system?
I don't find an option with that name in the owner's manual, only a warning light. My guess is that it refers to the radar system, and that the same system is used for both parking assist and DRCC.

Park assist and DRCC are entirely separate systems:
Park assist uses ultrasonic sound waves (basically sonar) to detect objects all around the car. The squares in the bumpers are the ultrasonic sensors/emitters. The range of these sensors is very short (4 or 5 feet I think). Park assist was available for all 3GS models.
DRCC uses radar (millimeter wavelength electromagnetic radiation) to detect the position and relative velocity of things in front of your car. A radar sensor/emitter (I think it's behind the grill) generates a narrow beam of radio waves, and when a car in front of you reflects some of the waves back to the sensor, the reflected waves tell your car how far the other one is and how fast it's moving relative to yours. The radar has a much higher range than sonar. DRCC was only available on the GS460 and 450h.
Not sure if Pre-collision was available on the 3GS, but if so it would use the radar system.
Were illuminated Lexus Door Sills an option on my 08 gs350? My car has them but based on other threads, they may have been an add from the prior owner.

I don't know about 08, but my 09 came with them from the factory. They are included in the options listed on the window sticker.
I have the button for the headlight washers but it does nothing. Shouldn't the button be a blank if I don't have the washers?
Are you sure that it does nothing. The washers will only work when the headlights are on. If you try it without the headlights turned on, nothing will happen.
I had my wife stand in front of the car when I hit the headlight washer button. The shocked look on her face was hysterical. They do indeed work. There is a small door in the chrome of the headlights that pops open and sprays them.
Hi everyone, there is a button in my '08 GS460 (JDM) that is not mentioned in this thread, nor can I figure out what it does... It operates nothing on the dash display signalling anything turning on or off... Has anyone else got this or know what it does? It's on the same pop out cluster of buttons with the mirror adjustment controls. See below.
BTW I have no sensors in my bumper for park assist or radar cruise
Yes, I saw them on EU 3GS switch box pictures on Google and it is still a mystery to me! This switch is blank in 99% of the 3GS's, and I looked for UK owner's manuals to find its function but I couldn't find them. It looks like an alarm, but my car has an alarm and doesn't have this button.
