asked why only the GS 400H have lighted signal outside mirror covers?Not even an LS 460 has signal mirror covers.
The manager says Lexus(Toyota) has contracts with companies on making x amount of number of certain parts.In this case mirror covers.
So until the parts are basically all used,no other design comes to be in many cases.
Don't know if that's true but it makes sense.

Ok, being that you're from NJ, what dealership did you go to?

I am thinking about visiting Lexus Of Edison, Atlantic City and Englewood.


How was the service there?

Try Bridgewater Lexus, its only a little bit away from Edison, they have had the elite of Lexus award for a few years in a row now, way better than the Lexus people down in Marlboro/Freehold where I used to live
