Question Side marker light connector in US RX300's?

While searching through threads, I came across this picture:



It's a picture of a UK version of the RX300 with side marker lights. It was in a thread about LED turn signals that go over the mirrors. While that would be really nice, I also came across gazi's DIY for those covers and it's a lot of work in my opinion. However, if the wiring harness in our US RX's already have the wiring there for the lights, that would be relatively easy to hook into.

So my question is this: Does anyone know if the harness has that connector (or wires) there for side marker lights?

My thought was to sneak the wires out of the wheel well and use special 3M tape to attach the light to the fender right above the plastic to do without the drilling. It's a low priority, but something I'd like to do some day.

Yes. It does. What you really wants to do? But not like the same position of European RX's.

Oh, I was thinking something like LED lights along the lines of this:

That's assuming I find something I like the look of.
