Default LED DRL or "Day Liner" on HS?

Last month when I bought an HS, the dealership gave me an IS 250 loaner while they installed all other options I wanted in the car. The IS was fairly new (500 miles) and it had this string of LED daytime running lights at the bottom of the lamp housing. I just thought how cool that looked! Fast forward to month later, driving to work today, an IS was behind me with the same LED DRLs and started wondering how cool it would look if the HS had them too.

I searched through the CL forums and couldn't find anything. At kbcarstuff.com (xenondepot), i believe they called these things "LED Day Liners" or "Angel Eye" but no kit exists for HS.

Questions:
- Has anyone done this to their HS? Is it even possible?
- Is there a kit or parts out there for the HS?
- What is your opinion of having this on an HS in terms of looks? Is it too much or "non-lexus" like?

I was browsing through the rollcall thread for the new CT and just realized that it was a CT that was behind me today with the LED DRL and not an IS! Those pics of the CT in the rollcall thread with the LED DRLs on are nice!

I've been searching the web and still can't find a pic of an HS with LED DRL liners. See examples of other cars in the attached pic.

I don't think that is an Original Lexus part (I could be mistaken).

OK who remembers the ad that was here on Club Lexus for these LED's
I think it was about a year ago or more. I had looked at them in depth and was thinking of them also but I had a lease and could not do it yet. The install was basically place where you wanted them externally and wire them to what you wanted them to be lit as.
