Good! I think its a nice touch. I am still not working. Its got me puzzled as to why they wont work. Fuse is good. Power is good. I can only think that maybe something is not good with the sills or the bulb in them if it opens up? I left Darell a message and sent a PM so I will wait at this point as they are hard wired in and nothing more I can do. Its the right wires to tap into and I am good with this kind of stuff. I will post and finish the post with the pics of the wires to tap and more info once I get them done. It is easier to remove the clips and they have this black clip that once you release them from the bottom it swivels up towards you and pushes the clip out. really easy to get out and get to the wires. the diagram is dead on for the color and location.

I guess the best way is to see if a local dealership has a set of the US ones in stock, so they can check if the four light up. I called the lexus dealers in our area, and they have to be ordered.
The JDM ones I have, all four light up. I also looked at the package and there are some wires that plug in, and some that have the tap connectors at the end. Here are some pics I just added up
In this pic you see 1 front and 1 rear sill

here is the back of the sills

and here are the package of wires and hardware they come with, pretty much the tap wires are power and ground

so I see the instructions for the front doors, but does anyone have the DIY instructions for the back doors, or have done them personally that can advise if this is a project for the dealership to tackle?
thanks
thanks

2008 Related question: I have an '08 GS460 which came from the factory with the front lighted sills, but not the back (go figure, stupid I know). Can the rear sills be added and, if so, is it as easy as the fronts or have they changed the wiring and harnesses? Also, do the sills light up a different color (the ones ordered from Japan versus the OEM ones on the US models?)

so I finally ordered the Japan version of these and received them Tuesday. I called the dealership for a quote and time-frame to install these and they said to quote 2 hours and setup me up for a Friday install. Dropped the car off this morning and they called at 10 to say, it was going to be much more involved then they originally thought and needed the car all day. I have no problem with that, other than an hourly rate of all day and not 2 hours.
I still don't think my dealership understands the difference between the US and Japan version of these things. I've specifically mentioned Japan everytime I've spoken to them and they just ignore that word. For the people that have the Japan version installed, how long did it take you, or your place of install to do this job? Is wiring the back doors that much of a problem? Glad I didn't try to tackle this myself. I'll report back once I get my car back on how they look and how much they charged for the install.
