Do they really look that white? Or is the white balance setting on the camera off a bit?

They look kinda antiseptic white in the pics.......... not feeling them at all.

Edit, the last two pics don't look so white. Looks great!

How did you remove that gaudy sticker from the visor, and does it show? Both sides?

The light from above is better for make-up application. Having a light pointed directly at the viewer causes too much glare. At least that's how my wife likes it. She also says it makes a better map light than the other LED type. And who would risk debating a woman's opinion concerning make-up application? Ask your wives and see if they agree...

The rear passenger mirror/light is even better, she says.

WOW Alabaster should be called Albinobaster! It's if you can keep it clean though. My wife thinks it's too grandpa - She said 'I can see this interior in an 80s / 90s Caddy but not in a Lexus' - I think she has a point.

another question about the interior, my 04 Ultra has Leather Wrapped door handles/panel and leather wrapped glove compartment and center consol as well, does the new LS460 offer this option?
