Default Illuminated exterior door handle & kickplate/door sill

Is there an illuminated exterior door handle that fits on a 2002? Or is there a tasteful aftermarket one? Would be nice to have one that syncs with the side mirror puddle lights.

Does anyone know which year RX or SC illuminated kickplate/door sill would fit the 2002 LS? Or any aftermarket ones that match the OEM orange color. The blue EliteAutoStyle sills don't match the OEM orange lighting everywhere else.

Yeah...how can they let them go at 20% off...what a bargain.

Actually, I guess when you consider four, the cost definitely adds up.

You might get away with just 2 (2 doors right?). Maybe it will be like 260....

Those things are awesome. If the fit and finish is good, I think that is a pretty decent price in relation to the amount of added coolness to the car.

What cars come with lit sills from the factory? I know I've seen a few, but can't remember what cars had them.

You can spec it out as an option on a few things. They're usually pretty expensive (probably $500-$1k) but they come installed already. And yes, they look awesome!
