TLDR: Release date is now estimated to be around spring 2020.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know that there were many folks on here (myself included) who were waiting for the OEM puddle lights to be released as they'd been up on Toyota Japan's Supra Customization website since launch with the parenthetical statement that they would go on sale "around August 2019".
As I mentioned last September, I'd spoken with Toyota Kyohan in Japan to see if the parts were out yet (given that it was past August), but they said that they were actually planning on releasing them in December. I just happened to check the above link again and it looks like - within the past couple of days - they've updated the estimated release date again: it now says that they'll go on sale "around spring 2020."
So... not sure what's up with that, but just thought I'd provide an update for anyone who was still interested in these.
It's worth noting that these are a Toyota part (and not a TRD part), so we should theoretically be able to get them through dealerships here in the US upon release (as we can with the carbon fiber mirror caps). However, I had to get something as simple as the GR luggage mat directly from Japan as my local dealership was unable to obtain it for me, so I'm not sure if the same thing will happen with these puddle lights or if they will (hopefully) be like the mirror caps in terms of ordering.
