Illuminated Door Sills and Dash Cam
Installed these bad boys today, overall I'm extremely satisfied with the results. Let me know if you guys have any questions, want more pictures, or a DIY!
Really small dash cam, super discreet and excellent video quality, 1080p

Was it as easy as poppin and lockin? Was there a connector for the door sills to light up so it was just plug and play??
Very nice!!!!

No, I don't play soccer!
Agree with you Bearcat. I bought the white sills instead of blue so it would match the interior LED lights on my '10 450h. It doesn't specify color on Lexus' site for '16 RX accessories.
SoKali-GS, the sills look great. Do you have a picture of the underside? I was interested in knowing if they use the same tabs to secure as mine. They slid out of the sill so the grommets on the frame don't have to be removed. And I assume the plug is right there underneath. Just pop off the cover, plug in and snap the sill back into place.

I'm assuming the sills are plug and play, like they were on the 3RX. All you have to do is pull the old sills up, likely pull the grommets off the new ones and plug it in to the hidden wire and snap the sill back down. I have a thread in the 3RX forum with photos of the whole process. If the process is the same I can try to find it.

Hey guys, sorry, got sick yesterday, so haven't had time to post.
The door sills are basically pop and lock. There's a white 3 pin connector once you remove the door sills, and the illuminated door sills will have the connection for it. Make sure to remove the cover on the connector attached to the car before plugging in the new door sills. I've removed a lot of door sills, and this is by far the most difficult. I was surprised by how much force I had to use to get the sills out. If someone finds an easier way, please share. For this reason, I won't be removing the door sills again for this DIY. I'm afraid I will break something lol.
Here are the pictures of the underside of the of the non-illuminated door sill. Everything is the same, except the illuminated ones have a white connector for it.
Here's the area where I ran into the most trouble trying to remove the door sill and what the connections look like underneath.
DIY for dashcam to be posted tomorrow! But here are some sample clips, make sure to watch in 1080p! No sound in first video because Youtube said audio was copyright infringement. Audio still works in second video.
