You mean the curtain airbags? 2001.

And if you're injured, a medic will pop out of the glove compartment.

Are front and rear side-curtain airbags (SRS) what you're talking about? Started with the GS430 in 2001

From the lexus web site for 01 gs430:
The Lexus driver's, front passenger's, and front seat-mounted side-impact, and side-curtain airbags are a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). The driver's and front passenger's airbags are designed to inflate in a severe frontal collision. The side-impact and side-curtain airbags are designed to inflate in a severe side-impact collision. In all other accidents, the airbags will not inflate. To decrease the risk of injury from a deploying airbag, always wear seatbelts, sit upright in the middle of the seat, and do not lean against the door. Do not put objects in front of an airbag or around the seatback. Do not use rearward-facing child seats in any front passenger seat. The force of a deploying airbag SRS may cause serious injury. Please see your Owner's Manual for further instructions.
