the side markers are on the jdm aristo, that's standard in japan. it's square type though. these rectangular ones i think it's from other cars, bimmer for example.

and the front bumper, it doesn't have corner markers coz' that's full bumper replacement, most of them dont' have that. or if you get the jdm front bumper, it's completely smooth, no markers.. or you can always get yours filled and painted the whole bumper again

I believe only US and Canadian cars have the front bumper side markers. The rest of the world gets the one on the fender.

Dee is another member who has done the JDM side marker mod.

These are the ones from the JDM Aristo:

This is the set from Tom's. It has the same shape as the JDM OEM ones:

The ones in the pic above are more rectangular like rominl stated and are similar to the BMW ones.
