If you decide to buy these door sills and it requires special wiring installation i can refer you to my audio installer in So. El monte. PM me for more info.

 

nothing can be that "special" about wiring, it's just.... wires. i am pretty sure you can still buy those sills, how you do the wiring that's another story. i can understand why dealership wouldn't want to install it for you.

 

someone correct me if i am wrong, but i was told that accessories like illuminated door sills are installed NOT at origin but when it's at the dealer of destination during prepping

I checked my own car, on the driver side, i noticed the rubber seal didn't completely cover the edge, so i had to adjust it myself. I would assume that Lexus Japan would never allow this to happen if it's installed at the factory.

of course the dealer can install it, just whether they want to or not.

 

Has anyone done it and if so what were they charged? Thanks

 

Correct, the doorsills are a port installed accessory.

 

So what was the final verdict, will the L-tuned Illum Door sills (set of 4) from Japan fit on the 3GS ? If not, can we order the US spec Illum Door sills (set of 2) and retrofit to the 3GS ??? Can Carson Toyota verify this . . .

 

I have placed an order for illuminated door sills for the 3GS. Supposedly, there are four sills (front and rear) with wiring harnesses. This kit is obviously for a 2008 GS350.

The parts guy said that the information associated with the part number indicates a fit for an ’07 as well. I believe I have read where the ’08 only comes with lighted sills in the front.

I will be curious to see the harnesses to determine if they will “plug-in” to the existing wiring on an ‘07. Expect a follow-up post from me when I receive the kit (about 10 days).

 

Where did you order from?

 

it's nice and all, but it doesn't protect the area that gets the most scratched:

 

^ That is why you get the Black interior . . .

 

Hey guys, I just wanted to post this up to clarify for you guys. The sills in this link
http://www.l-tunedparts.com/product/?id=2019

are for the 3rd Gen GS. These are the set that we import from Japan that has all 4 sills and all 4 sills light up. I actually have a set here in stock now.


The part number PT413-30070 is for the US kit sold through your local Lexus dealerships. These retail for about 369.00 and fit the 07-08 GS as well. As stated by our local dealersghip, only the front 2 light up. I have not ordered a kit yet so I can't verify that. As some of you know the IS350 sill were done the same way, only the front 2 light up, and the rear 2 only had an aluminum insert.

 

Can you do us a favor and look at the one you have in stock.

1. Do the ones in the rear have lights?
2. Are they "plug and play" for a 2006 or 2007?

 

the statements right before the one you quoted stated clearly "4 sills light up"

 

Mind you these are for the blue lighted lettering not white like the 08 version.

 

Also in his statement: "As stated by our local dealersghip, only the front 2 light up. I have not ordered a kit yet so I can't verify that."

I read two segments of conflicting information, which is why I asked for clarification.
