Go for the illuminated door sills. I have both on my car, and it looks great. I get many compliments.

Lexus really should've made the courtesy lights LEDs to match the rest of the car.

I found some nice LEDs that match very well! Extremely bright. I get lots of compliments on it in real life. Check out the thread I made here: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...oper-leds.html

I did something similar except I just got some bulbs on ebay after checking fitment on Sylvania. All my bulbs were LEDs and much cheaper than any of those links. They were bright white with no blue hue and have lasted over a year now with no issues. I know there are definitely quality concerns when buying bulbs but some of those links were way too pricey for this kind of mod IMO.

I saw this, but decided not to order them since it doesn't have additional LED that light up the area. This one only has a logo projected.

Good observation. For me personally the courtesy lights will be more cosmetic than helpful.

This one shows to have a little extra light but the reviews aren't that hot for it.

The other set I ordered should be getting in around noon today. I will install tonight and post pics.

Mine should be here today. Will try them this weekend. They are the ones with the circles, I like the non circled one better but can always change

Not really an issue. I put these in yesterday and they look great and has enough light still visible as you can see from the pic below...that is if you really consider these courtesy lights functional in any way and need it lol.

Points to note. This was very easy to install and I can confirm fitment is spot on. Nothing loose or jammed. Also I am dropped(lowered) and these still look very clear which you can also notice from the picture below. I think the higher up it is, the bigger the image gets is all. I am glad I got the version without the circles around it...it looks cleaner IMO. These make me happy when I get out of my car at night.

Overall it was definitely a worthwhile mod that a lot of newer cars are coming with factory. (either on mirrors or doors or under side skirts)
