Was looking around and came across a thread devoted to our friends in Japan and their cars. One thing I will say they go HAM on their cars and they all look amazing.


I notice that the Japanese version of our car (IS350) come with side markers on the front fenders. Is there anyway to get this on our US models? Im a big fan of it. Was thinking about buying a set of side markers and trying to tap into the parking lights/puddle lamps so that when I walk up they light up also and for when I put on my park lights they go on. Does anyone know if this is at all possbile? I know some drilling will be required on the body if I do end up doing this (only thing worring me) Just need to know where to find the lights and where to tap into exactly.

And if anyone can tell me how they did this with the headlight....


Thanks in advanced.

 

x2 for the side marker install, I would also love to know. And the headlight ordeal looks like it's just a sticker... bake your headlights so you can break the silicone seal and slap a sticker on there, that's my best guess lol

 

I wonder if it projects a "L" on the road?

 

It's probably just scored on the back or front of the projector lenses.

I'm more interested in how they made one half of the front turning signal into a parking light. I need more info on that..

 

I have been searching for these quite sometime now... really interested in doing it.

 

the japanese know everything!

anyhow, i would really like to know about the side markers as well. it seems as though they'd be a pain to install, though.

 

they are not a JDM markers.... every single Lexus is europe have them, mine as well

 

First off ill say you car is sexy and second my mistake everyone but us in the US has them... do you know where one can get there hands on a set?

 

hmm Id say main dealer will have them, don't know how much they cost

 

Damn koksik your cars off the chain

 

thx man

 

I would so be interested...

awesome if it was slightly tinted and or smoked

aside from getting the sidemarkers

another difficult part is exactly finding out the measurements of where the sidemarker is supposed to go.

and koksik nice ride

 

I might find out how much they cost in local dealer, make them smoked its very easy (for me haha )

 

Thank you brova....if you could maybe provide us "yankies" with a website no US based website has them on for sale. SO if you could provide us on where to get them how much and the placement it would be greatly appreciated

 

I can find maybe some from cars for parts out - it will be cheaper
