The backlit Tesla badges are in the Amazon site.
(Trade for the Mercedes model that has it?)

Default Light up my Lexus


Do a search, I found these four (4) lights for $20! Super simple to install, arrived in 3 days.
Saw the Tesla emblem backlight while there.

I did this for a friend's audi a long time ago, pretty sweet. They do have LED Lexus emblems but it does not fit the NX (I looked into this).

Do note if you have the assistive braking package, you CANNOT change the front emblem to anything but the one already there as the radar sensor is right behind it and calibrated to that style emblem.

Ghost lights won't work on NX models as they don't have the lights on the doors.

lol. I cringe every time I see MB star that is illuminated. I cry even more when I saw that you can buy it as an option when spec'ing out their cars. It looks so extremely tacky to me it's unreal. Agree with you 100%. I don't think the L should ever be illuminated on a Lexus.

The door puddle lights are OK. I just actually added OEM "F" logo puddle lights to my RCF but it's so clean looking. It goes really well with the exterior door handle led.

Manufacture's are adding so much tacky stuff now. It used to be the amazon/china add ons... Now it seems like there's more and more stuff to de-value the vehicle..lol

The car in the pic does not look like an NX as it's too close to the ground, might be in an older IS or ES which may have factory puddle lights on inside of the door itself.

If you really want this, you can either buy battery powered ones or tap into the door handle lights or the front footwell lights. But you'll have to drill into your door panels.

To me the only ones that display a logo onto the ground that look tasteful are ones from the factory. My wifes Lincoln MKX has it, It looks bad ***, but all these aftermarket ones look so cheesy IMO when someone opens their door.

The white car pictured is our 2020 ESh, lights were Amazon items. Quick and easy.
Update since the photo is that the lens or cell that creates the image has become loose
in the housing and the image rotates slightly. When it warms up I intend to pry it out
of the door and attempt to re-secure it.
