Nice job Kdash do you have to install the resistor for the LED or you just tap the LED to the wire? thanks

If you buy the pre wire ones the resistor should be already in there.

You guys only get space for one cup? :P

I'm curious, when the door is closed, does the light bleed through? Was the purpose of this completely so that a bottle of water would glow all fast and the furious like?

We got another cup holder inside our arm rest, and that one has a stock LED to light up the bottle. They didn't put one on the outside so a lot of isx50 like to have one in the cup holder to match the one inside the arm rest. Don't you have them in your Lexus?

Thank you so much Kdash106 by following your instruction I got one LED in the cup holder I bought the FLAT LED and the LED holder it turn out great it sit flat to side of the cup, with the LED holder I don't have to use the hot glue like KDash used to hold it, it turn out nice like OEM installed set up, the only thing I wish they have the LED that matching with led in the arm rest this LED like blues white. but I like the result of it

What's funny, I guess Lexus caught wind of this & liked it. My 2011 is350 has this installed factory.
