Default 2013 RX350 lighted door sills

Is the 2013 RX pre-wired for lighted sills?

Should be. Follow the instructions on Sewell's website to remove the sills. Then it's a matter of plugging them in.

Does $420 sound better? That's the price you'll pay if you create an account with Sewell.

The sills aren't that bright. The color though is a nice clean white and matches the LED interior lights.

Anita,

I'm not sure if it's a model year change at work but my 2013 450h's lighted sills (part of the luxury package) are "hybrid blue".

They serve no real functional purpose but I'm glad I have them. I just think they make the already sweet Lexus look extra cool.

Marvin, I bought the white ones because I didn't want it to clash with the LED interior lights, LOL!

Only way to get them is Lux pk? My dealer says 2015 with Lux is hard to get unless ordered from factory. The main reasons I wanted that pk is for simi-aniline leather and lighted door sills.

Try some of the other CL vendors like Carson Toyota and Nigel JDM Parts. The latter two can get some pretty cool stuff from Japan. Disclaimer, I'm not responsible for lightening anybody's wallet
