Default Running lights/markers - JDM & Europe

I like the running lights/makers that are on the Japanese and European spec IS models. Is anyone importing these or can they be had through one of the CL vendors?

From lexus.co.uk:

If you're referring to the signal markers just forward of the front doors, just be aware that you'll have to drill into your quarter panels to mount them.

I agree, looks better without them. They complicate a simple and elegant front/side design.

I might get those. Definately a Plus on the safety radar.

Since I change lanes without much thought or space, it would be nice to let those slow motorists know I'm changing into their lane. hahaha.

I've always liked them.. they were on my 2002 bmw 330cic as well. I wouldn't
mind buying them and just sticking them on, im sure rigging it so they just
stick on can't be too difficult....

This will require cutting into the fender. Can't just stick it on.

Also, there will be no "plug n play" You will need to wire this up yourself to the blinkers.

Good question! It might be easier on the assembly line to ship US/Canadian models with the wiring in place; just no markers or holes.

I'll have to take a peek...

It would be nice as far as a safety feature, but I really dont want to drill a hole in the fender. Had it on my Civic (back in the day) and ended up getting rid of it and filling the hole back up for a cleaner look.
