Correct. I actually ordered the ice blue and pink last week as well. I'll take pics of the other colors when they arrive.

It looks like you have the "service" manual for the LC500. How did you get one?
Thanks in advance!

If you're still needing to know I can confirm that they fit the 2024 model. I went with white - nothing fancy. Definitely brighter but not too much so. Feels like the intensity it should have been like from the factory. Did the trunk light at the same time too.

Has nobody figured out how to keep the interior door strip light to stay bright when going in the drive? It dims way too much.

I assume the trunk light is that same LED?

Several lights should also have been brighter IMO, including trunk, door-strip light (love that light), and one that is so dim, I didn't know it was there. Using the button on the key to unlock the car, when the door handle pops out there is an LED that lights to show the handle. May help in pitch black, but usually I can't see it. I don't normally use the key to unlock, and when it's dark, I fumble about running my hand around the area until I find the handle. In my head I can hear my ceramic detailer say, always use the handle so you don't scratch the door paint unnecessarily. I would have liked to see an LED in the push-circle of the handle light up when I approach w the key.

Just now checked, surprised there is no light when opening the hood when the car is off, but not sure I need one.

We should be so lucky. I bought this one. About twice as bright. There's only one light in the trunk which is offset to the right of centre. Could have used two in the trunk (one to the left). One day I'll peel back the fabric to see if I can stick a second one in there.

Here are the lights I bought and tried out. These pics were all taken while in park. When the car is put into gear they dim a lot. Almost to the point where you can't even see any color in them and it's almost a white light. I took some pics while in gear but my camera phone made the pics much brighter than what my eyes see so I didn't even bother to include them.

Blue


Ice Blue


Pink
