Really beautiful car. I seem to be following your path although there are only so many things you can do to an elderly RX300.

I bought the clear side markers and some chrome amber bulbs for them but was waiting until I painted the undercladding to install them but looking at your car the difference they make is stunning. It makes the car look so much cleaner.

I did remove my roof rack and mudflaps trying to clean the lines up and I think installing the clear markers will really help out. Thanks for posting these pics and could you tell me the number of the amber turn bulbs so I can order some of those?

Just to clarify,
7440 bulbs are the forward and rear facing turn signal bulbs....if you are looking for bulbs for the lights mounted in the sides of the front and rear bumpers, you need 194 type
