Small upgrade made today. Swapped out the front door Courtesy lights for a direct OEM replacement from the RX350, that are LED. Literally Plug'n'Play.
I was hoping the Part number would be on the RX part, but it wasn't. It's from the current gen RX however, which I believe started in 2016.

Very nice build, I like the clean tasteful mods. I'm curious on how you mounted the trunk spoiler. Is it a temporary mount with just 3M tape? If so, any issues when you park your car under the sun during a heat wave?

The trunk spoiler was purchased from Ebay pre-painted Obsidian Black and is stuck down using 3M tape. There's two rows of tape under the spoiler and it has been stuck down at least a year now (winter and summer, and now this summer) with now issues.
Prepping the surface before sticking is key...believe me, it's not coming off any time soon...heat wave or otherwise.

Added a few items to the IS...here are updated pics. Takeda intake also added, no pic...I'm sure everyone has seen a 100 pics of the Takeda intake already.
Avery Gloss Black roof wrap with Lexus Obsidian Black shark fin antenna cover
Removed and installed the antenna through the rear map light opening...a lot easier than you think.
Tanabe Medallion Touring axle-back

Kinda late to the party on this one, but the black roof completely changes the look of the car, in a GOOD way!! Wow, that would be the first mod I would do if I had MRM. I have Atomic Silver, and I've seen a few pics of black roof, but I don't think it looks as great as it does on your car.

You have an amazing car. I have yet to see this color in person. By any chance you have the part number for that switch?

Keeping in mind that this is a Canadian spec switch where we're not legally allowed to turn the DRL's off, so we don't have that position at the bottom of the switch.
There is a US equivalent switch though .

Did you have to order it new through Lexus, or find one from a wrecker or other source? Would also like to get the auto-wiper version for the right side.

Would like to replicate the fogs. Where'd you manage to find and buy part 84140-30340 from? Is it shared with other models?

You might have better luck now...but the dealer is your obvious last resort.
The switch is shared with the GS of the same generation.
