Default Clear side repeaters

Hi,

I own a GS300. I think the orange-coloured side repeaters are looking a little bit dated, so I searched for white/clear side repeaters. I've found one, but I've got a question about it and I'm pretty sure you guys can help me with this. I'm looking at this pair of side repeaters:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LEXUS-GS30...:X:RTQ:GB:1123

On the picture it looks like there's a white/matte white sticker in the middle of both repeaters. What is this? Is this something I can't remove from thr repeaters or is it just a sticker or something? To me it looks like a sticker...

I already contacted the seller but still no reaction. I hope you experts can help me

Thanks a lot!
Regards!

Thanks for your reply. I don't think you understand me, or I'm just being not clear enough . I put two circles around the 'stickers'. I don't like it if I put this on my car and those two 'stickers' are still there. The whole repeater is really clear, except the thing I circled. I'm trying to figure out if I can remove these things after the installation (so if it's finally on the car), so the whole repeater is fully clear, without the 'sticker' in the center of the repeater. You know what I mean?

Here a picture:



Thanks!

The sticker is on the back of the repeater, covering the hole that the light goes in...

Ok thanks guys. I think I found a better one, as far as I know this are the original side markers that belong to the Toyota Aristo, so it's pretty original. The Aristo ones look better and more 'premium' also. I think I'm going for the original side markers!. But thanks for the help guys!

Yea, I think I have the original orange ones right now :P

But I've got another question. To buy the item I wanted (http://www.ebay.com/itm/301313186548...S:1123&vxp=mtr) I need a creditcard, but I don't have one.........

So I searched for other markers and only found these: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/TOYOTA-JAPAN-...3ef781&vxp=mtr

They don't look the same, but both sellers are saying that both the markers are original Toyota Genuine parts. Can you guys tell me which is really Toyota original, or are they both original from Toyota? Also I would like to know if there's a difference between the two. On the first eBay link it looks like the markers are really shining, and with less 'lines' in the marker. On the second eBay link the marker doesn't look if it's shining and it looks like there are a lot more of those 'lines' in the markers.

So can you guys please help me?
I really want those things, expecially the ones on the first link but I can't buy them because I don't have a creditcard (I don't know why you need a creditcard for it but okay). I'm able to buy markers from the second link but I have to be sure if they are original from Toyota.....and ofcourse why it looks like they've got more 'lines'.

Thanks for the help guys!

Am I correct that the parts number of the first link is: 81730-05041?

I found them here in Germany.

They're the exact same part with the exception of the lenses used. And both sellers advertise that you can use paypal to pay for their parts.
