Default 3rd Party Side Puddle Lights - Deliver Time?

I just bought the pair of aftermarket front doors puddle lights/lamps from addcarlights.com.
To anyone who has also bought their puddle lamps here, do you know how long the delivery time would take (I am based here in NJ/US)?
It seems to have shipped from China.

Bought from them and love them. So much better than others on Amazon and a lot less expensive than Lexus OEM. Took about two weeks. Shipped from China went to NY and then to me.

Thanks for the delivery info.
Good to know you loved the lights - I bought the same thing and looking forward to it!

If you bought during the lunar new year it's possible that the delivery could be a little late as everything slows down during that time frame.

We have a 23 350 premium and our door card doesn't have a light, just a cover. Does that pry off and is there wiring in place?

I used MVP auto parts, which ships from the USA.

You pry off the cover and (hopefully) the wiring rig is right there.

Yes, I have a 2023 NX350 and I added the door lights as mine came with just a plastic cover. Once you pry off the cover you will find a unused connector that the lights will plug into.

Yes wiring is there. Our 2023 NX had just the plastic cover. Pryed off the covers with a putty knife plug and play take 60 seconds.

My side puddle lights finally arrived. Took only a week to deliver from addcarlights.com. Took about a minute to install per side, and it just lights up.
Here is how it looks during daylight inside my garage. The light intensity is pretty good and contrast is amazing. I am sure it will look even better at night.

My question... will this side puddle lamp always be on when I open the door? So we don't have a way to turn it off?
(Special thanks to @lsft for recommending the addcarlights.com as a source!)

Cheers,
Bernard

They are always on when the door is open. No difference from the oem puddle lights.

You have piqued my curiosity. Why don’t you want the puddle ice to turn on?

Mostly battery conservation, I was hoping that it would turn on automatically only when (a) it gets dark enough, and (b) when the door opens, (c) barring that, or as a third condition, that allows for a manual toggle if I want that effect overall.
To me it also didn't make sense why it would turn on during broad daylight as I can't actually see the light.

You know that they drain so little and only when your doors are open that you have to leave your doors open all the time 24/7 probably for a month and month to drain your battery, and they are there to provide you some light and safety, so the off switch would be just not a good idea.
