Well, maybe just a little more than 4$. Like I said....I can't remember...
To me......they're worth it. 
somebody else may think I'm nuts.

I don't remember. I know I had a problem with them until I figured it out, but can't exactly remember what it was. Seems that they came off with the old ones and I put them on the new ones to snap in place. I can't say that for sure. That was a few months ago..lol

I paid about half using my Lexus credit card points and the wife thought I was nuts paying just the difference for the sills.
I went with LEDs for interior door and dome lights(Not too bright and no yellow),parking lights(match the HID with white output) and 28 LED fogs which match the HIDs nicely.
Doing the cargo lights but they're festoon and Kiltz is the guinea pig this time.
Might be another project for you,Lar.

The festoon bulbs came in today. They're slightly longer than the OE bulbs. It took a few attempts to get them in. One side is more flexible than the other. When the switch is flipped on, it appears that the flexible side moves and can pop the bulb out. I did get it to work once and it looks good. I'll have to wait until this weekend to try again. I also have a different LED bulb to test out in the front dome. I second changing out the interior bulbs. It makes a world of difference and looks sharp with the illuminated sills. Not that I've installed the sills yet. It's next on the list, probably in the spring.

with the festoon bulbs slightly longer it's harder to put them on, I replaced all my interior lights with led, I'm still don't have the courage to do the puddle lights I would like to change my sills too but I'm out of money LOL.....

Next project is the Nav override - kept the PS unit from my 3GS, but not sure I want to take apart the front console/radio unit on my brand new 450 just yet . . .

I can appreciate the override for the Nav, but I'm not there yet. And in part for the same reason. My wife drives the RX most of the time and I don't need her pecking away at the NAV for sure. Phone and other distracting devices is all she can handle. I should say MORE than she can handle.
Cheers,
