Default Illuminated door sills for Performance Luxury Plus Package buyers?

So I've pretty much decided that I'm going to get the Performance Luxury Plus package as opposed to the Premium Lux Plus, since I don't really care for the wood, and I don't particularly need a rear sunscreen. But the one thing the Premium has that the Performance doesn't that I really love is the illuminated door sills. I know, they're completely cosmetic, but man, are they cool or what?

Anybody know if there is going to be a way to get these with the Performance Lux Package (either by custom order or dealer installed)?

I wish they'd put them on the sports package too. The only option is to buy the parts and do it yourself. It's probably like a $500 OEM part.

I'm actually wondering if the wiring is going to be there or not. If it's there, it'd save a lot of money. If not, then installation itself will probably be ~$500, without parts

I'd imagine the wiring for all options/accessories are already in place, in order to minimize the various combinations/complexity during production.

Where did you find the information about the illuminated door sills? I'm looking at the Lexus Dealer Education in PDF and I can't find any info about the illuminated door sills.

My dad has them on his RX 330. I believe they were standard.

Right, I should know that they have aluminum scruff plates, but what about illuminated ones (from the inside?). For aluminum, besides Lexus, I know Acura has them...Benz also. But illuminated from underneath? Do you think Lexus, with their industry-leading cabin lighting systems, will have them?
