Nice job! Have you considered changing the scuff plate (amber) lights? I was wondering if anyone has done it yet. I searched the forum to no avail. I believe it's some kind of electroluminescent lighting and not LED's. If you have any clue on how to change these scuff plate lighting, let me know, thanks.

Nice job Rinse Out

The illum. scuff plates use 2 leds, not EL, on each ends. They light up a plastic engravings of the LEXUS logo.
They're sealed in, so you have to pop out the plastic coverings.

These were from an sc430 that I put into my GX:
