It's not a finger, just a towel
The scuff plates are tied into the same circuit as the dome light and therefore are affected by both switches in front of the sunroof. The following is from the service manual re: the plates...

I ordered 2 front plates Tuesday and was initially quoted $64 for the fronts, but got a call back this morning and was told they mistakenly reversed the prices, so front is $109, rear is $64.
Has anyone gotten the cheaper price?

So the rear scuff plates are just the normal black ones? Does anyone know the cost of the aluminum ones?
Also does anyone have pics of the illuminated ones in the day, as well as the aluminum plates?

Base model has black plastic scuff plates
Sport model has aluminum scuff plates with engraved Lexus logo in the front
Luxury model has aluminum scuff plates with lighted Lexus logo in the front

jlin101: But do the ones from Carson's Toyota also light up the rear scuff plates? If not, what's the point of getting them? If they do light up the rear scuff plates, then how do you connect them? I suspect there wouldn't be a plug for the lights like there are in the front.
