Does any one know if you can install puddle lights for the rear passenger doors? I love the ones on my Audi Q5 right now, and it will be sad not to have them for my NX 450, if that is the case...

Hmm, I think his video is on replacing/installing the light for the rear liftgate, but sadly not for the two rear passenger doors...
I just checked with LSFT and he says there is no puddle lights for the rear passenger doors. There does not appear to be openings for them, even I wanted to install them myself.
I am excited about the new NX though, I'll post photos when I get it.
What is the "upgraded" liftgate light. I know several forum members have replaced the standard single LED liftgate light with a much brighter aftermarket one (including me). Is that what you mean or is there actually a Lexus option for a better light here too?
I recently installed this lift gate light on my wife's NX450h+ and compared to the stock, single LED light, this thing is like a flood light and a big improvement. I found it on eBay and it arrived from Taiwan in 18 days, from order date to date of delivery. Here is a link to the item: https://www.ebay.com/itm/334865243032

15 LEDs are great and would be very bright. I wonder how much juice it draws from the 12V battery. Not saying it's a bad light, but as we all know some owners are having 12V issues and having the liftback open for longer periods of time and if the more LEDs we have, would it draw significant amount of juice in comparison to the original useless LED?
I know the headlights draw a lot and I'm just wondering the more we add like door sills and stuff, are we at higher risk of drawing too much from the small 12V battery?
It may be possible but, I am not really concerned. LED's draw far less juice than incandescent bulbs, they are brighter and also run much cooler. Also, keep in mind that, typically, the lift gate does not stay open all that long and any risk of draining the battery would seem doubtful. I have not yet done so but, I intend to look for a larger and more robust 12v battery which will fit in that area for future replacement use. I tend to replace my car batteries after three to four years, prior to them failing. I kinda feel that it is better to err on the side of caution. Having a dead battery at an inopportune time is a real PITA.
Just picked up a 2025 NX450+ in Canada. Is it me, or does it look like there are some missing tools under the trunk lid? I didn't like the fact that it only came with a 110v charger, but I can understand the need to keep the MSRP low.

All that empty space is indeed for all the tools, but those tools are for changing your tire, but your NX does not came with spare tire, so it does not come with all the tools either haha I had to buy all those tools myself and they are not cheap, but the manufacture save billions not including all those tools and spares with every car they make. Soo yeah if you want those tools to change a tire or something in the future, you will have to get them all yourself

Just an FYI for earlier posts about 450h+, They are all made in Japan, Canada only manufacture's NX 250, 350 and 350h and the RX 350 350h and the 500h, all 450h+ which are plug in's, come from Japan. In the US, I'm not sure about Canada, some of these models do come from Japan as well but not many, I think it's just to deal with the current high demands in USA and Canada.
