Default JDM windshield wipers

Hope everybody is doing well

I have a 2003 Toyota Celsior, and I was wondering if the LS430 wiper blades/arms/rubber are interchangeable between the Lexus and Toyota models. I have received mixed answers online and thought I'd ask here. If I'm not able to use regular wipers, how would I go about ordering the parts I need?

Thank you in advance.

AFAIK all wiper components (except maybe the motor) are right hand drive specific. The LH drive rubber refills might fit not sure. Can buy what you need from amayama.com
or punch in your VIN here get part numbers and search Ebay etc.

Windscreen wipers wipe in both directions, so it shouldn't matter if your car is LHD(US/CDN) or RHD(UK/JP) from the point of view of the blade itself, so you could just fit new rubbers to the existing wipers.
If the wiper has a deflector on it, then that will matter as that will be one way only.
For RHD wipers you can order them from Japan or the UK but shipping will be steep.

I use the Bosch Aerotwin wipers but the ones here in the UK are specific to RHD cars. The drivers wiper is 24" and the passenger side is 16".
On the drivers wiper I had to cut a small section out of the side of the cover that snaps down to cover the mounting. Other than that they fit and work very well.
