interesting. thanks for the post. What would this be referring to? if we got the mudguards installed? i don't have the mudguards and the only thing i had SET install was the clear bra and the SCION paint lettering on the bumper.

No idea, although if I would have to guess I would say its the LED strip SET sold instead of the fog lights. I would thing it were the mudguards it would be all areas. Interesting that it doesn't include 2013 models.

i thought the LED strip was a standard Toyota feature on 2015s since they were standard on the 2014 monogram. I dont think SET installed them.

Don't know then. Not a whole lot of options available that use torqued bolts so maybe it is the mudguards. :shrug:

Mudguards use push pins afaik.

LED Strip? If it's the following attached picture, it's not an accessory.

I think they might be referring to the LED strip in place of the fog light on some vehicles?

Those are the JDM headlights with LED running lights, not the LED strip.
