Purchased cpo 2014 gs 350 F sport. Did not come with illuminated door sills. Really want the sills but dealership asking $655. Would cinsider outside shop ir perhaps doing it myself, but wouldnt want to do anythibg that would jeapardise the warranty. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

 

You can buy them on eBay for about ~$250...that's what I did. Very simple to hook up...definitely a DIY even for a novice.

 

I heard so many different people do the wiring a different way. Was yours a 14 GS F sport? Also, would something like this void the warranty for the vehicle if I did it myself?

 

Warranty voids when u do any aftermarket Mods to the car, since your using a Lexus part I don't think it should be a problem. Unless you have a burnt door sill from wrong wiring one day.

 

Mine is a '13 Non Fsport...wired directly in to the floor lights. The only way it should void your warranty is if they can prove that your illuminated door sills somehow caused the part to fail you're trying to get warrantied..

 

I did the install of the Illuminated Sills on my '13 GS350. It was straightforward. You can get the sills online from Lexus dealers like SSLexus and Bell Lexus of North Scotsdale that have eBay stores:

I had them on my IS previous to getting the GS and it really liked it. I felt like it completed the "look" on the interior of the GS to see the logo light up. The dealer charge to install is outrageous since it will take you an hour to complete yourself. Many members have done this install themselves.

The Lexus instructions show them connected to the floor lights. No need to remove the dash panels. I did mine in less than an hour. They look superb.

when they are wired to the floor light are the sills turning off when the door is shut or do they stay on while driving?

 

The sills will act just like the floor area/footwell lights - bright when a door is open or car is running but in Park. As soon as the car is put in gear, the floor lights dim considerably...so will the sills.

 

Any link to the Lexus instructions or does it come with the door sills?
