BTW, I wear my late brother's 1970 Red Sub daily in his memory.

That's great. An iconic watch in his memory.

You, me and some others wonder the same thing, my wife has an 08 RX350 and I love that added touch. I have an 07 now and still no illuminated sills!:uh:

You can buy them from here...

that is one gripe I had on the LS. How can a flagship not have this while the SC and RX do???:thumbdn:

I made my own, only the fronts. Only problem is sourcing the parts and doing some hacking:

Wow, that looks awesome! I like how you matched it to the footwell light. It looks just like the sills on my RX.

My 03 SC has them too. Lexus is funny this way. The 2010 SC for 70K does not have cooled seats, and as far as I know only the RX had HUD. Anyway, you bought the twin of our car, and we love it. Best car ever owned, enjoy!

What's even stranger is that I was in the dealer yesterday to stop by to get some warm freshly baked cookies and I saw the 2010 RX in the showroom. Not only did it not have illuminated sills, but the sills were blank! It didn't even say Lexus!

Thank you. Those actually were from an SC430, so it's oem color:thumbup:

So the SC430 doorsills fit on the LS, plug and play? Or did you have to do so modding to get it to fit?
