Is it kinda like GFY with an an i for "idiot" at the end? jk (just kidding) hehe
IMHO = In my humble opinion
LOL = Laugh(ing) out loud

1. put the wire taper on the orange wire w/ the new wires and crimp
2. cut the grey wire from the connector on the ISP
3. connect the grey wire to the new wires and your set

Where To Buy
I have read a few posts on here regarding the illuminated scuff plates. I have not seen anyone say where they are getting these from. Is everyone buying these from the dealer? From an online source? How much are they going for?
Also, two other quick questions: Do these replace the whole scuff plate, or just the Lexus logo part of the scuff plate? And do you install them on the front door plates only, or the rear as well?
Thanks,
Kavistar
