Grill Marker Lights
I’m ready for the hate, but here it goes! I wanted add some flair to the front end. So, with some simple wiring, measurements and zip ties, my clearance lights were added to the grill. This has absolutely zero usefulness outside of looking different and not normally seen done on a Lexus. 4Runners, FJs, and the like have come up with every configuration, so I figured why not; I like the look it gives.

Which kit did you go with? Any cutting or did everything fit proper?

I was was debating about putting together a few if others were maybe interested. Should hover around the $90 mark with everything.

There is one or two other GX’s online with these lights. I like the look of it a lot. But others will probably disagree.
Is the TESA tape used to secure it to the grille? There is a Tacoma kit that comes with a CNC bracket mount for a similar price If you can get a kit that is simple to install, I’d order one from you to support our members.
How are the lights? Are they weatherproofed? Some options on amazon come in around $20-50, but have poor reviews.
This is theTACO kit with the brackets.

Looks good, I just noticed your profile name, so you have an Acura NSX? Please post some pics. The NSX is my dream toy car

One pesky sky inner fender screw rubs. Hit it with a heat gun for a minute and it pushes out of the way and still serves its purpose to hold back the plastic liner.
No no rubs on full lock and motion after that screw is fixed.
Reference picture.

If if I were to make these I could do an Add-a-Fuse for people to tie into the interior fuse box, or leave two open ended connections so you splice into the parking signal. If you wanted to add an on/off switch that could easily be added to the blank spot beside the TCS and windshield wiper buttons on the left of steering column. It’s however someone wants to do it.

It is merely centered and then held on either side by zip ties. When you get behind the grill you see there's not much mounting bolts to tie into. The zip ties, tight, along with the width of the lights themselves wedge in between the grill. They have not moved in the month or so installed. It easy to wedge them in, but I would like to see over a length of time. Ease of install is around a 2 out of 10.

I’ll have to take a closer look at the grille when I have a chance. I’m thinking about doing the quad setup like @Sutnaipics on his IG. I don’t think he was ever a member on here, and it doesn’t look like he has the GX anymore.
Some taco memebers have suggested using this amber light, which might be similar to the one seen in the IG post.
Grand General 77650 Amber Thin Line 6-LED Marker and Clearance Sealed Light
I have the diode dynamics smarttap module in place of the stock turn signal relay. It comes with a flashing and strobe setting. If it isn’t too involved, I’d like to tap into the turn signals to use the hazard functions.
