Default LS460...couple of little things added

I am adding lots of little details to the LS460. Here, I've changed out the puddle lights for Lexus projectors. I've also changed out the stock white fog lights for yellow. Purchased 9006 yellows on Amazon...Alla 2800lm COB-72 LED. $24.00 for two. Pretty easy change out. Took about 5 minutes a side. Projectors are Oxilam Lexus Ghost Projector (2 pack) for $15.99. Sold by Oxilam direct if anyone is interested. Thought I would make it easy for anyone else who likes the look.

Other changes include carbon fiber license plate frames, and diamond stitched luxury floor covers/mats. The luxury mats are not here yet, but I expect them in a week or so. I purchased the brown mats for my parchment interior. I also purchased Weathertech all weather floor mats for winter. See images below. The original AWD Weathertech drivers side mat did not fit. I had to work with them to get the right mat. Apparently, their RWD mat on their website fits the AWD. I think the AWD version on their site is for another model Lexus like the IS series. I told them there is no difference in drivers side interior between the AWD and RWD.

My daughters thought it would be fun to put pillows and a blanket in back when they ride in the car.

Love the fog yellow light look. I had the yellow fogs on my 2000 GS400 a few years back. Ordering these for my LS!

Very clean interior!..... Looks great!
BTW! The next mod should be Oliver’s exhaust vents and Prestigious Society motion bypass module.

Just added the lights on mine as well. It's a nice touch. I have had several compliments on them.

Chuckinnj,
The prestigious motion bypass is on my list and next in the que.
Do you have this module?
How do you like it?
How difficult was it to install?

I have not taken my dash apart yet. I have a remote start Dball unit to install and thought I might do them both at the same time.

Thanks,

Thanks for the fun fact. Another fun fact: What looks odd to one person can look attractive to another. Having said that, I also like the look of LEDs. Perhaps I’ll upgrade/mod my fogs to those instead.

Just added projectors to the rear doors. The rear puddle lights are slightly angled up, so the image gets a little skewed, but it still looks nice.

Fog lights are yellow for a reason which doesn’t have nothing to do with an old era,even modern cars are using the same ones just because the yellow color give a better view driving in fog conditions.....
