puddle lights on IS500?

Yup!! Those are it! I always knew he bought them from some Chinese reseller but I could never find the reseller. He has a couple more color options that have color but those are it. The one I got says Lexus and has the logo but the one like yours with just the text more closely resembles the OEM one sold in Japan
Picked up a dead pedal and e-brake pedal that match the f sport pedals- will post a thread after install. It's surprising what you can find on there.

Let me settle the debate for you. I bought a set of high-res glass lens puddle lights on my 22 IS350 from @LeonCarbonFiber for $30 off instagram. He offers Lexus logo and F Sport logo emblems and the ones he sells are universal for most Lexus models as the connectors are all the same. I've seen them installed on 14-20 IS and 2021+ IS with no issues. The angle of the lens is adjustable unlike others so the image will project perfectly flat on the floor given that our puddle light is at an angle. I did hours and hours of research on this and I couldn't find any other adjustable, high quality projector. I wanted an image that didn't look cheap or distorted, and 6 months into having these installed, these still meet the criteria.
I've had mine now for a few months and they still look good, as when I first installed them. Highly recommend and LeonCarbonFiber is the guy to get it from... his name is Rotanak Giang btw.

Agree with TipsyTonio. I left my puddle lights alone because it looks like a bear to take apart to get to the LEDs, but for the door courtesy lights, I ended up getting F-Sport ones that are crisp and really high quality for my 2018 IS. The door courtesy lights you see on Amazon or eBay are using other photos from other people, but the lights you get (while a little cheaper) fade or become fuzzy after a few weeks of use.

The new one from aliexpress is clear as day.
Puddle lights are a bit of work to get to- mirror removal is honestly the scariest part but not too bad. If you ever get sequential mirror signals, you can do em all at once.

As far whether to get the F-Sport vs. F logo ones, if it were me, I'd stick with F-Sport personally since you don't have a true F but it's your car
Lol I had an ebay one prior- most annoying was that the projector would get loose and the image would be upside down and out of focus

Snapped some quick pics to show the difference between the "cheap" ebay/amazon lights and the aliexpress/leoncarbonfiber. iirc amazon/ebay was 13-15 bucks?
Wires are thicker for the board and the housing has a cutout for the image as opposed to shining through the plastic. You can also see the adjustable angle in the second pic- I installed as is and they looked pretty level for the ground. Last is the box the aliexpress lights came in.

[QUOTE=unioncorps;11337508]I got the F-Sport ones with a blue border. The lenses are adjustable so you can modify how it projects on the ground (in other words, you can stretch the image or make it narrower).

Yeah I Just ordered a set of the F Sport with Blue border like yours..Thanks for the pics
