Default Any Euro GS 300 owners here?

I have a question for you.

1) in most european countries, you're vehicle is required by law to have functional rear fog lights for inclement weather condition where you'll need to be seen by the driver behind you.

similar to this VW here:



i'm wondering now is, on euro equipped GS's on the light stalk where you would turn the **** to turn on your front fogs, do you have another index that would turn on your rear fogs as well. I'd like to see a pic of that as well as the icon on the dash to show that it's on for the rear. I'm trying to see if this is something you can retrofit onto USDM GS's.

2) again, in europe or even i think in Japan, they have what is referred to as a split zone side mirrors for the driver's side. 1/3 of the outer glass is aspherical while the inner 2/3 is normal glass. It's a great safety thing to have on cars because you see quickly if anyone's in your blind spot. I've had them on my previous VW/Audi cars as a "euro" part. I'm just curious if you have them as standard equipment over there as well. I'd like to get the part number for this as i'd like to try and get my friend who's based in germany to order it from the local lexus dealer over there.

and this is what the split zone looks like

The rear fog light butten is on the left side of the steering wheel. Above the brake release.
I'll try and snap a pic one of these days for you.

I'll have to check my mirror to see if it's split zone.

Well, for the 3rd gen. you'll have to be patient. I'm not near the dealer too often.
I'll try and do it as soon as I can.

Hello,

I will be at the dealer next week. Hopefully I won't forget. What do you need 3 pics? Switch, tail fogs on and off?

YES! that would be great if you could! also if you can verify that the driver's side mirror has the split zone (and part number )

THANK YOU!
