Well, *IF* it requires special wiring which is not preinstalled, then he might be right in the sense that it's so expensive you wouldn't want to try.
Still, I'd love to hear from anyone else who had it done -- I'm not the type to do it myself -- after buying the car and how much it costs to get it done then.

If you decide to buy these door sills and it requires special wiring installation i can refer you to my audio installer in So. El monte. PM me for more info.

someone correct me if i am wrong, but i was told that accessories like illuminated door sills are installed NOT at origin but when it's at the dealer of destination during prepping
I checked my own car, on the driver side, i noticed the rubber seal didn't completely cover the edge, so i had to adjust it myself. I would assume that Lexus Japan would never allow this to happen if it's installed at the factory.
of course the dealer can install it, just whether they want to or not.

So what was the final verdict, will the L-tuned Illum Door sills (set of 4) from Japan fit on the 3GS ? If not, can we order the US spec Illum Door sills (set of 2) and retrofit to the 3GS ??? Can Carson Toyota verify this . . .

I have placed an order for illuminated door sills for the 3GS. Supposedly, there are four sills (front and rear) with wiring harnesses. This kit is obviously for a 2008 GS350.
The parts guy said that the information associated with the part number indicates a fit for an ’07 as well. I believe I have read where the ’08 only comes with lighted sills in the front.
I will be curious to see the harnesses to determine if they will “plug-in” to the existing wiring on an ‘07. Expect a follow-up post from me when I receive the kit (about 10 days).

Hey guys, I just wanted to post this up to clarify for you guys. The sills in this link
http://www.l-tunedparts.com/product/?id=2019
are for the 3rd Gen GS. These are the set that we import from Japan that has all 4 sills and all 4 sills light up. I actually have a set here in stock now.
The part number PT413-30070 is for the US kit sold through your local Lexus dealerships. These retail for about 369.00 and fit the 07-08 GS as well. As stated by our local dealersghip, only the front 2 light up. I have not ordered a kit yet so I can't verify that. As some of you know the IS350 sill were done the same way, only the front 2 light up, and the rear 2 only had an aluminum insert.

Mind you these are for the blue lighted lettering not white like the 08 version.

I read two segments of conflicting information, which is why I asked for clarification.
