You have to do your mirrors too! Looks Great when you approach and unlock it at night. Popping the mirror lights is a bit wonky - you need those plastic tools for sure. Also I had to upgrade the 'square' lights for the front done I think. I had to find 'better' LED's, the basic one's were acting up. The upgraded LED looked like a dice (super bright LED?). One other mention is I had a bad LED in the back, so every time my son turned on his light, it popped a fuse. But some quick testing found the bad LED.

I picked up the seat protectors at buybuy baby but they are available on Amazon as well.

The mirror puddle lights were already done before I bought the car. That's kind of what triggered me to start really looking into doing the rest of the lights on this car. I never bothered with it on my other 3 previous Lexus'.

The mirrors, license plate, and reverse bulbs were all bright leds already ^_^

Nice!!!! Glad to hear you got more as well. The seat protectors are available everywhere I believe target even has some. Just make sure u get the ones that clip up top and at the bottom. Some are just elastic and over time they will not hold up as well.

Naw I bet someone asked the seller how many are they going to get before buying because others got more than 16 for the same price. Nice little come up while the door was cracked open though.

I received mine days after ordering it when this was first posted. Def more than 16 pieces.

Even with my panel removal kit, I can't seem to take off light covers without putting nicks on some panels. I stopped after seeing the nicks.

Maybe I'll need a smaller set of panel removal tools for this job.

^^^^ yeah prob need a thinner piece. Mine had several and I used the thinnest. If you have a thin butter knife and handkerchief you could make it work but def have to be careful. Super thin flat head screwdriver and also make sure you are prying in the right spots right where the plastic clips into place.
