Hey guys from USA/Canada.

Can you help me out with the markers as well?

Here are mine:



Can you help me light them up like yours? Is there a bulb in there that I'm missing? I'm in Australia and by default they don't like up like the North American models. I'm sure since they left the reflector there is the wiring for it.

Hard to say... check with your dealer's service or parts dept. Or you'd have to remove the headlights to find out... take off front bumper, etc.

Interesting! Looks like your reflector is actually solid, and doesn't have the "light hole" that the US version has. So maybe it's an entirely different unit (without wiring).....seems odd they would be exactly the same unit (US vs. non-US), but with a different reflector (sans light hole).

I don't know that I would want to crack it open to confirm, though.
Perhaps easier to determine through part numbers.

Best,

Oh I didn't realise the US had a different reflector.

Cars sold outside the US don't require to have any reflector at all, so I don't know why Lexus added a different one to replace the old one. I thought it would have been cheaper just to leave it out for the rest of the world.

I saw an update on their Facebook page.




Do you think there is a plug and play solution out?
