Default Differences between 1992 and 1993 Lexus SC300s... ?

Is there a link that will show the differences between the 92s and 93s ? (preferably for the manual transmission models). Or can someone post the differences ?

Thanks

Basically 93 has auto headlights, dual air bags, retained accessory power (probably allows you to run windows and radio w/o going to on position), and possibly new refrigerant for a/c. There might be others but I wouldn't know.

trac box is probably traction control stuff. Manual SC don't have it, but maybe in the later models.

93 was the last year to use the old R-12 refrigerant.

I have an auto 92 300 with the "winter package" and I have TRAC and heated seats, So I know that the 92s (at least the SC300 autos) has that box that onelasttry pointed out...
