My wife came home in a new car...lol She went to the dealer without me and test drove a NX. She liked it and bought one..lol She has the 300T luxury. It's funny because she normally doesn't get vehicles with many options and with this one she has almost everything. Luxury package, navi, heated steering wheel, parks assists, power lift gate with kick thing..etc.

The two things I'm bummed she didn't get was the 360' camera as that would have been sweet and the illuminated door sills. The camera I know I can't do anything about, but the illuminated door sills can be installed I'm sure. My question is to those that have them are they all 4 doors, or just the fronts that illuminate?
If I go to the dealer tomorrow and ask for them are they able to order for me? I have no problem installing them. I've done numerous things on our other cars so door sills shouldn't be hard.

Browsing eBay I found front OEM illuminated door sills but they are listed for the 2015-2017 NX's... is it safe to assume that the 2018 would be the same or use the same kit?

Overall I'm really surprised at how nice this vehicle is. I thought we were going to be getting a Macan but this is half the cost and has more features minus the rumble..lol

Thanks,

I can’t speak to whether it’s the same kit or not, but it will only be the front. Our 2004 RX had all four illuminated and it was a very classy look, but the 2013 only had the front door stills illuminated - but only as an option. I’m pretty sure you will find that only the fronts are available as illuminated sills. Unlike the RX which had a plug ready for the accessory, the 15 - 17 NX required some wiring work to install illuminated sills. Can’t speak for the 2018 model year though. Please let us know what you find.

Thanks for the info Doug.

I am going to order the OEM lexus/toyota front door sills.
I found part number: PT944-78150
Those are the ones that light up white for the gas engines. The blue version is for the hybrid.

I also really like how the f-sport comes with metal pedal covers. Looks so much nicer.
I am positive about the brake pedal: That should be Part No. 78110-0W080. $55.73
The Accelerator doesn't appear to come with just the pad. It's the whole freaking thing at around $160. But I believe that Part No is: 47121-78010

The thing I can't find is the f-sport dead/rest pedal. It would be nice to get all three. I am going to have to talk to the dealer to make sure or find a part number.

The last thing I am doing and though it's expensive AF for what it is I'm getting the illuminated cup holder.

I think once those three things are done it will look pretty sweet inside from what it already does.

I'll post an update shortly unless anyone can tell me if there was a significant body/style change from the NX 15-17 to the 18? I can't imagine it being different from the 17' year model so I believe all the above should work fine.
Thanks,

Those all sound like nice mods. Enjoy your new ride.
