I take it we would still have to run wiring to the sill to make it work. If installation (wiring) was included I could see them justifying the $409 per sill.

more than likely you need to wire them to the door or something like that to get the signal to light it up when door is open

the 409 price is too vague coz' it's just the price of the "option" if you get it from lexus when you order the car. so technically it would cost MORE if you just it alone (since as an option, it's like swapping out the original one).

it's only useful if a dealership figure out the part number including the wiring and then get a quote to see how much that cost

Illuminated door sills

These illuminated door-sill protectors are made from heavy-gauge brushed stainless steel. They custom fit the contours of the door sills and offer protection from unsightly scuffs, dents and scratches that may occur while entering or exiting the vehicle. On the driver's and front passenger's door sills, a small, white LED bulb illuminates the Lexus logo whenever the door is open.

$409 [1]


I have on my 08 and its SWEET!!!! Even my girl pointed it out!!! It's kinda "icing on the cake"! And, it's simple class and quality...

well if you get the door sills and the right hardware, then it will has the wires. you just run it along the carpet and then through the door jam. take off the door panel and hook it up to the door light to get power. so it lights up when the door is open

hmm...do you think the sills will come with instructions on how to do that? i mean, just a small piece of paper with clear instructions would work.

Those door sills are designed for the 01-05 IS300. My friend ordered a set for his 2GS and they did not fit.
