Default Door sills, mats and sticker

Today after a week and a half, I took my GS out of the storage unit. Hard to believe a week ago today we had eight inches of snow on the ground!!!

I installed my illuminated door sills and swapped out the two on the rear doors. I love the lit "Lexus" on the front two doors. It's a small detail but I like it!

I also installed my all weather mats for winter use and will use carpet in warm weather and removed the Johnson dealer sticker from my deck lid.

Now you need to swap out the front door courtesy lights for special projector lights that projects the Lexus name and symbol on the ground.

It's a nice touch. I haven't heard of anyone that didn't like it...owner or onlooker.

I installed my projectors on the front doors yesterday. After reading a few posts, it would appear to me the lense/logo will need replacing as it becomes "worn out". Is that everyone's experience?

That is what I am led to believe. I plan on stockpiling a few. Wind fire supposedly gives you these free if you pay for shipping.

I had one of the projectors on a set (different brand) have a problem with the logo lens after about a year and a half of use. It just turns greenish and isn't as clear.

I had the same exact thing happen to the driver side logo projector, turned greenish light after about year and a half. Probably the same brand, don't remember which one though.

Same with the driver's side. I took out the lens, and the light wasn't green but didn't find it worth it to just buy the lens. Just bought a new set of projectors.

No problems here. Both sides are sharp and look the same as when I first installed them a few years ago.

Hey bclexus, I like your projectors. I just installed ones I found on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and while the projector looks good, the actual puddle light is very dim, almost non existent. Yours look bright. Not sure I am keeping these because I'd also like a brighter light. Do you remember which ones you installed?

I got mine from BMW_LED, which I don't think is in business anymore. Maybe they merged or were acquired by another small company.

I recall seeing numerous courtesy projectors lights when I was looking for mine years ago. Some projector lights (for Lexus) had circles around the Lexus name and L symbol, and others don't have the circle. Also, some were all white, and some had a color (e.g. orange) mixed into the projection.

I would ask people who just recently bought them to post a picture so you can compare the projectors you currently have.
