A few months ago I ordered puddle lamps for our 23 RX from LexusAcc and from when I ordered to when I received it, it was almost a month. I’m pretty sure I didn’t get a tracking number or anything. I was afraid I was getting scammed. Finally almost a month after ordering it arrived.
I’m located in Canada, maybe it takes longer to ship here.

@Freds430 Is it the $45 set or the $80 set? It looks like the $80 set to me. The description is pretty vague as to what vehicle year and model they fit. Safe to assume it fits the 23 NX 450H+? I have the OEM puddle lights but they are sad, not bright at all.

Tracking mine came from China to NY and sent from there. I ordered three different times and no problems except took about two weeks.

@Freds430 I purchased that set of Puddle Lights. Can't wait to get them. I think they will look nice with the Deployable/Powered Running Boards I ordered.
On a topic note I like the newer Lexus 3D look a little better than the $47 ones (Addcarlights). Is this newer Lexus 3D look the $80 ones on LexuxAcc?

Good luck. There are a LOT of others that look just as good if you don't mind the chrome. Once you go to that one I linked above, you'll see a lot more.
As for the Puddle Lights, I wanted the $80 set but went with the $47 set. That was the photo I attached. After paying for the crappy (in my opinion) looking ones from Lexus, I didn't want to spend the extra $40. Wish I would have, but I didn't. I like these fine. In hindsight, I should have NOT gotten them yet. I completely forgot the running boards will have LED lights as well. So I'm not sure how this is going to look. But I'll know Tuesday.

@Kodiak412 I have emailed and called both Amp Research and ARIES (I believe the only two powered boards made in the USA) running board companies and both said NO. They even went so far as to say, We don't make them for Lexus and don't see a future when we will. So I continued to look around. FINALLY I found a bunch but they are ALL Chinese made. I figured what isn't these days and purchased a set that worked for me (I hate chrome so it was hard to find). They arrived quickly and look to be made very good. I am having them installed Tuesday 7/25/23. Here is a link to the boards I purchased: NOTE: I didn't pay that much

@Freds430 Thanks but I purchased a china made puddle light (actually 2 but that was my stupidness) and it’s installed. That was the second or third mod I made. I’ve purchased the tray for the center console, the divider/shelf for the glove box, Crystal Shift ****, Red Lexus valve stem covers, Modern Spare and Tools, Pirelli’s regular tires, Deployable running boards, door puddle lights, Full front PPF, complete car ceramic coating. Now I’m looking at the Black Chrome window trim or maybe wrapping the trim instead.
And then I’m done. 🥵🥵😁

Pirelli Scorpion All Season Plus 3 245/50R20 102V
They are amazing tires. I was extremely surprised when the wife said she could tell the difference. And she was opposed to me getting them with only 2,800 miles on the car. I got them at Amazon as they were the cheapest.

You have done a good amount and some decent things for your car. Let us know how those power running boards turn out. It is a high step up into the car and my bad knees make it harder.
Also thanks for the laugh! You said "and then I'm done". Yeah right.

I looked in the back compartment of the NX350h and the only thing back there is rod with a hole (loop) on one end and threaded on the other end. I have know idea what this is and I have to look up this stuff. Also a phillips head screwdriver. Thats it. I do not even know how you loosen the lug nuts. Maybe they figure with run flat tires you go somewhere and do not do any of this yourself. This kind of sucked as they should have at least given you the jack and lug wretch.

Yes that post was great! I ended up getting the Lexus V2 3D ($80) puddle lights and I got that back piece LED too. That back piece (4 LED) should have just been the norm, but it is what it is. That single LED was pitiful.

[QUOTE=Kodiak412;11546545. That single LED was pitiful.[/QUOTE] agree could not have cost Lexus $20 to upgrade from one led to four.
