I have put in 2 side markers most recently (1 Toyota and 1 Honda) and have been thinking about installing side markers on our RX. Some people have commented that it does not look right and instead install the side mirror signals.

Now that I have seen an RX with a side marker, I am more convinced that I would be taking on this DIY. It should be a fairly OK DIY.

See pic attached (courtesy of Nigel, thanks).

What say you?

Here's the Harrier with the side marker-signal:

No roof racks, too! Much cleaner look!

Why do you like the side markers so much?

Great question!
But as they say, "to each his own"
I would not want them, maybe something on the door mirror?

Cool, I'd like to see what you come up with. I'm excited to see pics of your DIY.

All Aussie RX330/350's have side markers as standard and I have installed JDM Indiator Mirrors as well.

More visibility equals less chance of some idiot running into you.

Safety for the most part, since we still do not have a very easy DIY to replace the side mirrors with the indicators on them (which is an add on for Harrier, too).

Different from the rest. Just like a TC grille (except the grille does not offer anything but aesthetics).

I have been checking the Scion Xb side markers, they look very close to the Harrier...I will check this out in a Toyota dealer...

Asking you for a favor, can you please call the dealer and ask how much the set costs?

Please?

Thanks in advance.

I have found a set of original side markers from Japan. I will install it shortly and will do a DIY. These are the OEM standard side repeaters for the Harrier.

Here's the set I got, I will be using the clear ones.

Look foward to see the completed product.
So you will cut into the fender to install the side marker ? I hope you have it done correctly cos it's going to be costly mistake if the side markers are some how misaligned
( 1 position too tall, the other too low )

I'd like to see this DIY too. Keep us posted!
