Agree. Seems pretty strange. Perhaps Lexus is trying to save some extra production cost by unifying the front and rear bumpers for domestic and exports... but again, headlamp washer is not available in Japan and PDC is available in Japan but not in US... And JAF (Japan Automative Federation) does not require side reflectors so... Whatever.

Is there any JDM source for the clear reflectors with no bulb? Im in on a groupbuy if there is one. I dont need the leds and $315 for something homemade doesnt seem like its worth it. Hell most likely ill end up with a set.

Sorry...
That Ad I posted was for the sidemarkers on the front fenders not for the ones on the front bumper.











BTW, not only these bumper sidemarkers in Japan don't light up, but also they are all orange in color (front &rear).








This white SC430 below has Tom's everything including Tom's supercharger except BBS wheels, BILSTEIN suspension and Brembo BBK.

The exterior of Geebee's car should look pretty much like this one minus hood & wheels once he completes it.






Tom's supercharger

I thought the same thing when I saw it. Im glad the soarer is being sold as a sc430 in Japan now. There going to come alot with alot of nice parts. I havent seen a kit that jumps at me for the SC. The Toms kit for the updated sc is my first pick so far.

Have you tried to installed them yet? Any issue?
I heard from Bryan (VIPSC) that these are not direct plug and play.
You'll need some conversion kit sold in Japan to make these work on 02-05 SCs.
