Check the box, i think there are instructions inside
9 pages deep doe :/ youve been warned sir!

Usually do all mods but got cold feet and just let a local car electronics guy handle it and fogs at the same damn time. Only charge me like 75$ to install sills

hope this helps

I just bought a new 2015 GS and ended up having the dealer install the illuminated door sills. I found a video, I think on this site, before the purchase.


I knew it would be tough for me to tear into kick panels and trim on a new car, so I opted out on doing it myself. I will look again for the video and post it here if I find it. The illuminated sills are awesome!

I worked the door sills & install into my deal when the car was delivered, but i asked & i believe they quoted me between $160 & $250, (nice gap in price difference huh) but be careful I was told that they had to run some wire that was not there to install, but they do look great!!

The dealer just quoted me $100 for the install I'm getting it done today. The job is a pain in the ****, you have to cut into some wires that's really it but to get to those wires is another thing.

From the instructions that used to be posted on Sewell's website, you had to remove a LOT of panels up around the steering wheel and possibly take the stereo out. Whatever it was that the instructions were showing looked completely ridiculous.

I still can't believe these cars don't come pre-wired for those. My wife's 2010 RX had the connector already there, just plugged it in and boom...LIGHTS.
