I wish my gas hole would light up though - $3.15 gas is expensive to spill

Not sure what use that would serve. Gas stations are already well illuminated at night. If you're not able to see your gas cap when refilling, I'd say you probably picked a station that had already closed for the night. 
No doubt. Lexus will deny that it's possible, however I'm sure someone that's good with electronics will figure it out for us.

all of this just confirms the leaked 07 changes a couple months back, I dont think anyone expected anymore than this. Thank goodness that HID with AFS is a standalone option. And I really like the 5 spoke starfish looking wheels of the X Package. Im happy with 07 changes
And many of us hope that the VSC/TRAC cut-off switch is a doable upgrade, hopefully its a new switch with a controller unit and not a computer related upgrade.

I really like this mod. I always push the wrong button or have to feel for awhile to find the right one. I hope its just a switch upgrade, but if thats all it take to upgrade that would mean that there would have to be a illumination wire (one that is dimmable with the other buttons) and a ground wire going to the switchs. If they didnt already plan on doing this last year theres probley no wires or room in the connector. Might be a whole new connector and wiring harness.
