Default Need help installing some illuminated door sills in OC






So I called the Lexus dealer last week and asked how much it would cost if I were to get a set of front illuminated door sills installed on my 14' GS350. The service guy told me it should be around $80 so i went ahead and ordered them without getting his info cause he said they do them all the time and it shouldn't take longer than 30-45 mins. A week later after I ordered them off ebay. I call again and get a $500+ quote for the install...not paying that...Anyone know a person or place I can get them installed for a decent price in Orange County? I've seen the youtube video on how to install them and it looks semi easy but i don't trust myself splicing any wires. Thanks guys

My 2014 F Sport came with the 2 front illuminated Door sills. I thought it was standard and not an option. Someone enlighten me please.

Actually got them installed today. bzebern did the install and I would recommend his work. Works for a decent price and TRUST his work...here are some quick pics i took. I would recommend getting this mod done for everyone looking to make their cars a little more classy. Does the job just right and looks amazing in person. Does the wow factor for anyone getting into the front seats...the rear on the other hand get stiffed.
