Nice tutorials, Acrad.

Put these on today....I know..... kind of a gimmick . :-)

See if they hold up, after 2 sets of something similar I gave up. I think the lights were melting the projection lens.

Will do... I have my old assemblies to pop back in if they become a problem.

Maybe it just me but that vehicle profile looks like a LX570 more than the GX. The taillights and c pillar/window trim has LX written all over it.

So far....

GX Premium. Projection door lamps with Lexus logo. Looks nice at night!!

k&N air filter which incidentally is the same as the 4Runner. I think the biggest benefit here is not worrying about replacing it ever. As far as mileage and HP...dont know. Would have to swap out and do tests.

Just kidding... :-)

I ordered 2 so I can put the GX on all 4 doors. Might use the extra strips on the hood and rear gate...

Are there any direct replacements for the footwell/courtesy lights in the 2013 GX?

Or even the lights underneath the drivers and passengers seats They are ugly amber in the second row.

Nothing I know of yet that is plug and play, I did do this

Had my friend use a 3D printer to replicate the GX OR badge.

Installed a Ram mount with a magnetic phone charger attachment. Finally found a good magnetic charger that is of high quality and will hold. Just wanted to avoid any kind of clamp mount or having to plug/unplug the phone while driving. Still need to test it to see how this is with vibrations etc with the 2 short arms vs one. Nice thing is the track has room to mount other accessories if I need to. I've tested all sorts of ways of doing this, vent mounts, CD slot mount, window suction cup, left side near handle mount (hated the view blocking), etc. Didn't like the location of those and this seems to give me a lot more flexibility on placement.

Here's my setup for rear power/glovebox power. I tapped into the power from the original 12V socket. The original 12V socket is rated for 10 amps @ 12v, so that should be plenty for multiple phones being charged. I soldered a cable to the socket, where the power comes in from the harness. No taps or modifications to any original harness (so I could just as quickly desolder it and return it to stock).

The custom harness goes to the glove box, the rear, and there's an extra outlet for the dash camera I have. I ended up making the harness longer than it needed to be... but chances are I'll be keeping this harness (connectors are expensive!) if I eventually sell the vehicle later, so it'll be good for any other vehicle I get in the future.

I recently looked in my glovebox and it has the rectangle and circle areas in what appears to be preparation for OEM power add ins... Does anyone know if OEM USB power ports exist that fit this location? I'm thinking maybe from a 4Runner or Taco or Rav4 would fit...
