Yes indeed, people have painted them. All you do is pull the emblems off, using maybe hot water and pry them loose. Than spray paint them black, which would look nice on yours. There is also heaps of threads about it on the ES forums.

You can paint your emblems, but nothing beats the quality and finish of oem badges from the dealer....

OEM means Original equipment manufacturer so he's saying nothing is better that a real Lexus badge from a Lexus dealer and have you seen any city corner lights I NEED them LOL.

City lights are located on the corner light on the bottom orange strip for 92-96 windoms and on a clear strip on the top of the turn signal bulb. Its basically a parking light.. and they were only available on jdm windoms...
Although i found that the wireing and socket for city lights in the 92-96 headlights are there, so its a matter of removing the cap and sticking in a 194 bulb
