No you won't see any instruction as what dealers are selling is just the parts like any other spare parts meant to replace the defective parts by certified technician following the factory workshop.
But that won't prevent you from buying the parts and do a retrofit but you are on your own figuring out the wiring and all that.
However, if Lexus releases the lighted door seal as an accessary self install kit meant for the end users then I would expect to see all the wirings, connectors, instructions etc. But I doubt that will happen.

I'm confused as to this post. Are you saying they only have these for the 01-05 IS? I have been eyeing these for a little while now. L-Tuned had these way before the 08 GS's even came out, and they have them listed as available for the 06-08 GS.

The one for the 3GS is the one listed on Lexus.com's site as an accessory.

Also to add, I verified the operation with my friend JoeZ on his 2008 IS350, and DVD's played while doing the NAVI override works normally with the audio track of the DVD playing along with video.

The set you guys are referring to is for the Lexus USA set, which only includes 2 sills (the lighted front pair)
These are 330.00 for the set

Luis, are you sure? My friend ordered these for his 2GS and they were the blue lighted sills and were for the IS300. I can verify his order if you like. I'll shoot you an email once I do.

That's right, they are the wrong fit for the inner rocker's curvature and shape.

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.

When I was in yesterday getting my XM module installed on my new GS350, I asked about the doorsills, figuring that they could be easily purchased and added after the fact, but my service rep said that it could not be done. It was a factory only item.
Any idea if he was right?
Has anyone successfully added them after getting your car?

Of course you can add it yourself.

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.
