My Side Turn Signal Lamp (water leak)
It is LS 460 side turn signal lamp.
Should be the same one on LS-F.
I ordered it from Lexus and had the workshop to drill a hole for it.
The part is cheap but it takes time to install it.

BTW, I forget to mention this.
My IS350 break system + project-u break pad (direct swap).
My Lexus Sticker on Stop Light.
The driver behind will see "L LEXUS" when I break.
It is a gift from my JP 2IS owner (KJ).

The side marker looks good! I wanted to swap mine to the LS marker but wasn't sure if it would look good. Now I know, thanks!
Btw, on the brakes, did you install only the IS350 calipers or do the rotors have to be changed as well? I'm considering that for the near future.

I changed the rotor too. The break system of IS350/GS430/GS350 is the same. So you just ask Lexus to swap it for you

Thanks for the info!
The side marker doesn't look good on the IS-F because of the F-badge and the vents. Too much going on there. I didn't even notice till now that it is not the standard IS blinker!

I really like the look of the side blinker... maybe not this exact one though. When you say you had the workshop drill a hole for it, are you talking about your dealer or...? How do you wire it (in general)? I'm thinking about installing them on my IS 350 when it arrives in Feb.

Sigh 
My friend was right that there's something wrong with the LS460 Side Turn Signal Lamp.
The quality is so poor
You can see water in the lamp from the following pictures. In fact, the connector of the lamp was sealed with silicon.

If the US spec IS came with the side marker lights everyone would be shaving them off for a more streamlined appearance. I'm glad we don't have them, they are just another item that breaks up the smooth lines. They never improve a car's looks, but that's just personal opinion.

The side marker light in fact is for the other drivers or passengers. In Asia, lots of bikes or motorcycles are on the road with you. It will be good if they notice that you're going to turn when they're beside you.
