Well the door sills arrived but my son tried to install them and the ones for the back don't seem to match up. They should just snap in like the original ones - correct?
Did anyone who installed them have access to the PDF file for installation? He thought he could do this but is confused.

Contacting the company to see if it can be exchanged.

To make a long story short - I had to order the sills directly from Lexus. As the back doors aren't illuminated, I only ordered sills for the front doors.
They cost me $299 installed at my dealership and they look great . I'm very pleased.
Edit - I was just looking at the picture of the rear sills and I see that they have a small chrome strip on them. Not a biggie for me as I rarely use the back seats.

Isn't there any way to connect them to the dome light so they only operate when the door is opened?
Yes, I installed the Lexus branded door sills with my son. It took about 20 minutes.
Can't speak about non OEM, but the branded ones came with the connector brackets included, so no need to splice wires, which was a concern of mine. My biggest issue with the lights is they are constantly on, along with the floor mat lights.
If you have a specific questions, please ask.
where are the connections for the driver & passenger side located?

I located these instructions but it's not plug and play as I hoped for, so my mechanic (former Lexus master tech) offered to install it for $200.

Do you have illuminated sills installed? Was wondering if they are blue if you bought it with the car installed from the factory. The reason is we have a NX that has illuminated door sills and it's white instead of blue. Thanks

My UX door sills did not come illuminated from factory. I purchased OEM ones and installed them, took about 30 minutes.
