Also in his statement: "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."

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

He said the one he has in stock is the one imported from Japan. 4 sills, 4 lights up.

Then he mentions that there is a US kit sold for $369, cheaper than the japan kit that can be ordered at local US dealer and it only lights up front 2.

I guess the best way is to see if a local dealership has a set of the US ones in stock, so they can check if the four light up. I called the lexus dealers in our area, and they have to be ordered.

The JDM ones I have, all four light up. I also looked at the package and there are some wires that plug in, and some that have the tap connectors at the end. Here are some pics I just added up

In this pic you see 1 front and 1 rear sill


here is the back of the sills


and here are the package of wires and hardware they come with, pretty much the tap wires are power and ground

I might buy a set, and sell my two fronts that came factory illuminated (white). Anyone interested in buying my front illuminated sills, PM me for info.

Luis, I'll give you a call very sooon.

Anybody know if there's a group buy on the JDM set of sills (all 4 light up)?

Thanks

Hmmm, $500 for 4 or $300 for 2, blue or white lights, decisions, decisions . . .

The Japan door sills are not in stock anymore Someone bought them

[rominl]

very nice. it's so stupid that japan already has 4 doors light up already but even for 08 it's just front 2 here in the US

The JDM Lexus version of the doorsills are thinner in profile as far as actual height of the piece. You can see that is evident with the black textured border around the plates.

Well that is nothing new, Japan always gets the new goodies first, and then it comes to the US (if at all). For years the 'real' Skyline was never available in the US, and the GS350 was available in Japan almost a year before it came over here. I guess rank has it's privileges. . .

If this was a direct plug and play (plugs hidden under the sills like the IS ) then I would loved to have tackled this.

So I was the one that ordered the Lexus Japan Illuminated Door Sills from Luis... As we are busy remodeling the house I didn't even try to install them myself, Auto Fashion did that for me, they got it done is less than 1 hour...

They definitely look very nice and provide some extra "Luxury" at night. The light color is more on the white side than on the blue side, specially in real, the picture did make them look more bluey than they really are.

Remember this is the Lexus Japan Illuminated Door Sill, the one with all 4 doors!


Front door


Rear door

Looks great timetoy

[INHOCJP]

Wow, looks very nice

[The Godfather]

Oh man, I need this ASAP!!!! 4 doors FTW!! I had this on my AMG and it was one of my favorite mods ever. How much did it cost you for the part? How much for the install?
