Yeap. I never understood that. I remember dating a super-rich chick from northern VA, and daddy bought her a new SC430, maybe a 2002 or 2003?
Anyway, HER door sills did illuminate. Here we are as owners of the flagship several years later with 2004/2005/2006's, and NO illumination. I just don't understand, I feel like it's going backwards, and it makes me mad.

Just replaced the drivers door as it was fading in color. I even had a Lexus service adviser ask me where I got them. They were Chinese of course, but a really good purchase, in my opinion. They are much more spectaculat than illuminated door sills!

They replace the existing lights in the lower door panel. Look just like the OEM and they just snap in place.
