Hello,

We recently got a 2013 rx 350 and wanted to get the illuminated door sills. Only problem is they seem impossible to find. I saw previous threads mentioned Sewell but it seems that their site is shut down now? I couldn't find them on eBay either. Was hoping they're still available somewhere, thanks!

Awesome, thanks! Just ordered them now. Hopefully they'll be what I was looking for!

Looks great, does the car have the wiring already for plug-and-play installation?

The RX has accessory power port (with blank cap/cover) on each side (below the original door sill protectors). On my '10RX, I wired both front & rear door sills together, drilled a small hole in the OE accessory port cap (blank cover), fed the door sills wiring into this cap (bending the wire tips to match the OE power port) then plugged it back into the OE power port ... voila, that's the closest to plug-n-play that you can get for non-OE door sills ...
