Small upgrade made today. Swapped out the front door Courtesy lights for a direct OEM replacement from the RX350, that are LED. Literally Plug'n'Play.
I was hoping the Part number would be on the RX part, but it wasn't. It's from the current gen RX however, which I believe started in 2016.

Very nice build, I like the clean tasteful mods. I'm curious on how you mounted the trunk spoiler. Is it a temporary mount with just 3M tape? If so, any issues when you park your car under the sun during a heat wave?

Thanks baemaxx.

The trunk spoiler was purchased from Ebay pre-painted Obsidian Black and is stuck down using 3M tape. There's two rows of tape under the spoiler and it has been stuck down at least a year now (winter and summer, and now this summer) with now issues.
Prepping the surface before sticking is key...believe me, it's not coming off any time soon...heat wave or otherwise.

Removed and installed the antenna through the rear map light opening...a lot easier than you think.

Kinda late to the party on this one, but the black roof completely changes the look of the car, in a GOOD way!! Wow, that would be the first mod I would do if I had MRM. I have Atomic Silver, and I've seen a few pics of black roof, but I don't think it looks as great as it does on your car.

Thanks Flash!
I see a couple custom IS's in my area, but I haven't seen them on the forums.
Would be nice to know who's who on here.

You have an amazing car. I have yet to see this color in person. By any chance you have the part number for that switch?

Part number is 84140-30340

Keeping in mind that this is a Canadian spec switch where we're not legally allowed to turn the DRL's off, so we don't have that position at the bottom of the switch.
There is a US equivalent switch though .

Did you have to order it new through Lexus, or find one from a wrecker or other source? Would also like to get the auto-wiper version for the right side.

Love the clean look of your car. Well done!

Would like to replicate the fogs. Where'd you manage to find and buy part 84140-30340 from? Is it shared with other models?

Unfortunately as hard as I searched at the time, I could only find the part at the dealer (in terms of best price)...and Lexus only had 1 in stock in all of North America.
You might have better luck now...but the dealer is your obvious last resort.
The switch is shared with the GS of the same generation.

I agree...well stated and not overdone. You should be more of a pic hog 🤪
