Default i want side markers!

i did a search and couldn't find anything about side markers. i know someone in the aftermarket wheel thread had them, but thats about it.

anyone else have any on their IS or know where/how much they are? i was surprised when i realized how many cars don't have side markers, and to top it off, my friend, with a Chevy Aveo, has sidemarkers...

Yeah, I want those side markers too, but I think they should have come factory - I'm not willing to drill holes and risk damaging anything.... Anyone know a Lexus dealer that's doing side-marker retrofits?

well i was hoping more like something a dealership can do, not on my own. i forgot who had it on theirs, but it wasn't a US version, some international one. so i'm assuming that it's possible to do it on ours without to much hassle. there's no way i'm gonna drill those holes and hope i do it right.

I have the JDM Lexus sidemarkers but I haven't put them on the car yet. I don't like the amber bulb in it and it's impossible to replace.. I already destroyed one sidemarker by trying to open it up in the oven. You're going to have to drill a BIG hole on your fender and somehow fabricate a harness as well.. or ghetto rig it. Too much hassle, IMO.

Instead of side markers, why dont you try to install the turn signal mirrors? I think it will look much better, IMHO.
