If it wasn't an issue (was it loose for the OEM lights?) prior to replacement then the dealer will not replace anything. Most likely the aftermarket part you bought has some fitment issues. Contact the seller to see if they'll send you a replacement.

Projector Door Side Lights

I found these on Amazon & thought they looked cool enough to take a chance on. Anyone else swapped out your lower door side lights?

I did. But it was the all white version and not colored like yours. Yup, my wife finds it very cool.

Mine too! She is completely dazzled by them

They don’t put out a huge amount of light, but neither did the stock yellow looking lights.

My factory lights weren’t even LED! No wonder they had such a yellow tint. I don’t get it - this car has LED bulbs for some things & not for others. That’s messed up.

I read someone in the forum who installed OEM ones. The cost is around $300 for a pair.

I have the factory ones for the hybrid and they look like this:

You'll probably not want to get the Lexus ones otherwise it's a bit overkill on the brand name. I opted to change out all 4 door lights for super bright door lights instead of brand projection lights.

They are LED in the luxury package.

Door sills were from the factory...seems to be on every luxury package car at my dealer. They actually say Lexus, but the camera couldn’t catch it.

It seems like a choice of increased brightness or projecting the logo, with these door shadow lights. My question is.....Are there any logo projector lights as bright as the JDM lights? If not, I will just go for the brightness of the JDM's.
