I've found this on toyota's web site. This is for the most recent Celsior but I think it can be fitted to LS400 or maybe there is LS400 version.
Can anybody help me, please ? I want to buy these funny things.

What are these things???

If you are having trouble answering this question, then you can probably do with out them

buttons

Think they are for folks who do not know where the edges of the car are--so they can park without hitting another car-----similiar aftermarket things use to clamp to the fender edges of 1949 Fords !!!!!!! Could get them with lights on the ends--for night parking !!!!!!

Buttons,You are right, they are for seeing the corners of your car when parking. I have seen similar on a 1993 MB 430SEL. The antennas come out when you put the car in reverse. Vik, do you really want to put these on your car? Just by looking at the pictures, I don't like the way the car looks.

I can some what understand needing them for the rear when backing up (not that I would do it.)......but the front.
They are similar to what the 1992 and up S Class Benz use to have on the rear quarter panels which were power. When you place the car in reverse they automatically pop up like little antennas (3 or 4 inches) so you know your distance when parking etc.

Those are also similar to these.

That thing cost about $30. You can hard wire it in and get a dark blue or a light blue glow on the tip.

It pops up when you switch your lights on.
I saw these on japanese cars - actually, it looks very nice at night. I'm not gonna use it for parking assistance - I know my car well enough to park without any guidance (wife doesn't thou). Having rear antenna is kinda silly but front one looks really nice.
And price $30 US sounds very good.

Vik

That's what I want to do Main idea.
Do you know what japanese text saying ? I tried to translate but could not find anyone here who speaks japanese
If it costs about $30-60 I can buy one but don't know how...

The stock JDM one that pops up cost alot over $200......... The aftermarket one that does not retract is only $30. I have purchased the $30 one for a couple of members in the past.

Vik

If 23000 yen is $280 aud ($210 USD) - you are right about the price.
Price is not that important if you can get front stock one that fits LS400. If you really can get one - please PM me. I will really appreciate your help.

I can get it from my local toyota parts store.
