wow..it is hard to see in ur small pic.

Since the lense is removable, perhaps you can find a clear one and do a custom cut.
After that, you can just paint the inside of the lamp base to silver and find a Piaa bulb.

You are bad,man haha

Let's not forget about herragge.

He got the dual function ones.
The third pic shows a secondary strip of LEDs that illuminate amber in color when the turn signal is activated.
Not a good shot, but you get the idea.

You are just a bargain hunter like most of us here.
Mod stuff is just a hobby for me.
Unlike PearlPower, I can only do this much b/c I am basically mechanic-declined. ha

For those who are very much interested in the clear sidemarkers.
I found a Lexus part vendor who is currently starting a group-buy on clear sidemarkers in Japan for Lexus model IS250/IS350/GS350/GS430/GS450h/SC430 at probably less than $60/pair.

These are not LEDs, but you can easily find a LED bulb that illuminates red,amber or white in color here in the US.

You guys should ask Steve @ Carson Toyota to contact that vendor.



レクサスLEXUSクリアウインカーIS250 IS350 GS350 GS430 GS450h SC430

レクサス純正部品をベースにクリア加工したサイドマーカー1コです。

最低受注ロットが40個(20セット)のため
レクサスオーナーの知人と共同購入で製作しました。

水漏れ等のトラブルを想定して5セット分を予備で保管していましたが
半年近く使っても特に問題がないようなので在庫整理で出品します。

「クリア加工」を施していますので
電球のオレンジ色がレンズに写りこまず、外から見えにくいので
ウインカー本来の「クリア感」が強調されます。

点灯時はオレンジ色に発光しますので車検等は全く問題ありません。

適合車種は国内レクサスGS450h、GS430、GS350、IS350、IS250、SC430です。

他車種に流用される際は、簡単に配線ができるように

Hmm...
These are probably the ones on the front side fenders for Japanese models only.
If so, we don't need them in US. haha
At least I've tried to find you guys a deal.

No need for translation. I had e-mailed the guy sometime back wondering if I can swap my side markers with those. In Japan, 2006+ models cames with those side markers instead of rectangular shape. Not the bumper side markers but rather for the front fenders.

By the way, I just realized that my bumper light doesn't lit. Normal? Or am I just being

Nope. Not with the turn signals neither... I haven't seen another SC430 on the road (at night that is) since I noticed the lamp not being lit so I can't really tell... and I don't think it's only my car, I think it may applies to all Soarers and SC430's in Japan. Check out the pic I found on the web.

Hi Jason

I believe they are just pure reflecters (front and rear) in Japan.
In fact, I see some sellers are selling the US sidemarker convertion kit in Japan, so that you can actually install bulbs in them.

Some US owners like JDM while some Japan owner like US version. haha
BTW, I don't think my car's foglight can be on without the headlight is on first like urs.

My ones dont light up, was playing around with them yesterday.. guess mine are just reflectors.

I sprayed them black (front & back) and I was quite happy with that look, as I have a black SC I think it looks better with black.

I guess that is why they have side marker and US spec. don't have side marker. In this case, I guess I like the US spec. more. kind of weird that both the front and rear are just reflectors.
