Thanks!
I am hoping that the wire will already be routed in the car just like on the models equipped with rear fogs. @DownUnder shared a pic of the connector and the wire color, so I’ll find out when I look behind the trunk lid panel. Will still need to figure out how to switch them ON though. If it’s too much work, I’ll probably just use them as flashing brake lights.

Dude,

What was the bill on the dashboard?

Also, care to list the items you bought and what was the bill on each?

Interested,
Hector

Dashboard, I really didn’t get the best deal as I ordered it through my local dealer, 494.00. Bell Lexus has it for 260 but they won’t ship such large part. The other parts are from Bell Lexus:

Hmmm. I just got a pair of Koyo 3DACF044D9GRAM rear hubs from Megazip for $257.88 plus $22.74 shipping from UAE. They're identical to the Lexus branded units and made in Japan. I am replacing all my hubs as I am close to 220k miles now. I also bough all new bolts for the hubs. They don't look bad, but they've been subjected to the same forces the original hubs have experienced, and I figured it makes sense to fully reset the clock on this.

Oh yeah, I need to order some rear hub bolts too!

Finished up wiring the new park/brake lights mounted in the inner tail lamps. My car doesn't come prewired with the rear fog light function so I decided to run some new wires and use them as park/brake lights. I am using some Vleds V6 Triton red LED bulbs and I think they match the factory lights very well. I am not fully satisfied with the modified lenses as some plastic shavings got behind the lenses and I couldn't get them out. @DownUnder is helping me acquire some JDM ones that already has the bulb provisions.

Appreciate the detailed posts on your work. Always love to see updates in here.

I picked up that dash a while back. Waiting till my garage is finished to install it so maybe you will beat me to it as I don't want to put it on the car while it still lives outside.

Thanks! You will most likely beat me to it as far as dash install, I am having the new one wrapped in alcantara and the current one in the car does not need to be replaced
