Why would you want the side marker and 08+ indicator mirrors?

Lots of very nice GSs! I thought Lexus was only in the US. Toyota introduced Lexus in JDM land?

Also, any reason the US version doesn't have sidemarkers? legal issues?

As far as I know Lexus is manufactured in Japan (someone correct me if I'm wrong). I don't know why side markers aren't standard on US version or the HID Fogs but I don't think it because of legal issues.

2006 and after Lexus was Lexus in Japan. Before then Lexus was rebadged as Toyotas. They also have/had options we didn't get and things catered for the JDM market.
