Is that the ISF-style grille?

Did you have the entire grille (not the grille surround) wrapped? If not, how did you fill in the area behind the emblem?

He has his parking lights on that's why the amber side marker is lit.

That's such BS. You should ask them why disabling DRL's is a clear option on the '11 RX350 headlight stalk they also sell then.

If you guys need your DRL turned off, let me know. I can do it for you guys since I have the program. I can also program keys etc.

How much did the upgrade cost? Also what modifications had to be done? I thought it was just plug and play?

Not sure what dealership you use Joe but prior to me taking my car last April I asked them to turn off the drl's prior to making the pick up and it was no question asked. Dealership I got my car from was Prestige in North Jersey. Good luck !

Overall great lights and the most expensive upgrade. Looks way better now.

Couldn't get any good pictures cause the LED are at 100% brightness (cheap android phone). Will take some better shots when I get a decent camera. Enjoy.

Hi how did you make your 2011 OEM light fit on your pre 2011 bumper ? Did you just plonk it in without any modifications at all ?

Just to add a bit of clarification. Disabling DRL is possible for the US Cars in Techstream.

This differs than that of the Canada cars because they have a different ECU such that it is not available in Techstream. Two possible solutions, manually adjust the wiring to disable, or get the US ECU and swap it with teh stock, and will be able to adjust them with Techstream like the US cars.
