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!

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???

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.

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!
