First of all, the NX had no door courtesy lights—puddle lights, yes, but no courtesy lights.

Second of all, in both of the links you provided, they do not support the NX.

So, unfortunately, no, I don't think anyone had done this on their NX.

What is the point of courtesy lights when there are already puddle lights?

And I personally don't like the ones that project the logo on the floor. I think that's really tacky and ostentatious. I don't care too much about flaunting the car brand out.

Haha, we don't have Lincoln's here in Australia.

What are those red LEDs on the door sills?

It's a capacitive number pad. Ford and Lincoln has had that on their cars for years now I'd assume for if you were locked out.

That's very interesting. I've never seen or heard about this before!

I saw those lights before looking at my NX until last night. Yes, it doesn't have any lightings at the doors.

if the original car door is without door lights, then the car can't install the Plug and play door projector lights, there are other door courtesy lights that are fixed by sticker, it can install.

Have them on both our RX and NX. First saw them on my neighbors MB. Bought on Amazon for less than $20 for a pair and takes two minutes to replace. Besides the logo they are brighter than the original and project down not straight out which is useless. They illuminate the ground so you will not at night step in oil, water etc.

I normally don't like these either. However, I did buy the OEM ones for my RCF which I think look clean. Most of the eBay/amazon ones I've seen have all sorts of different hues to them and they are not clear. Looks really tacky to me, especially seeing OEM ones next to them.

As noted some of them just project the image rather than "ambient" puddle light and a logo. I'm not a fan of the ones that say the brand either only because I know what car I have, I don't need LEXUS to be projected on the ground every time I open the door...lol

I looked at my wife's NX and she doesn't have any in door puddle lights. The puddle light that illuminates the ground at least in her 18' is in the exterior door handle and points downwards. So there is no way of changing that to anything. I actually like it because it's nice and clean. Same with the exterior door handle illuminating slightly, my RCF does this as well and it's such a clean/simple look.

OEM F Logo projectors that I installed last year.

See you're in Massachusetts. Do you know a good non dealer mechanic to work on my 2004 GX 470 in eastern Mass Say Boston south to Cape and west to Worcester.

Had one in New Bedford that retired. May want to do a suspension conversion and have a timing belt done in another 10K. Thanks for any advice. Mark
