It wasn't that bad. The big thing is to take your time taking off the sill plates otherwise you will break tabs. Now that you know which green wire on the passenger side to use it should be easy.

To O.P: hey, my car came with white led and blue led. My passenger side is blue and the driver side is white. Not sure if they messed up during the installation but is it suppose to be different colors?

Nope, both should have been white. I'd take it back and get it fixed.

Check here: http://www.lpartsworld.com/product/R...44-24150/1239/

It's actually Lexus of Roseville's below book OEM parts site...

$265 + 10% off + free shipping with code CL5

Just ordered mine and I'll be attempting to convert these to blue. I'll report back the findings.

Excellent find. Now everyone will have the option of Cool White or Cool Blue.

Good luck with the install.

If you can get both sides shipped to your door for under $300 then you did great. I bought mine on eBay, and from a Lexus dealer, for $269 all inclusive.

Has anyone had success with installing on RC F? I think they would essentially be the same, but just curious anything different from your install. Thanks.

I just finished my install and although I ordered white, I got blue driver's side which I installed first and thought I liked it and will keep the blue ( i know, hybrid) but then upon doing the passenger side, it lit up white! crap

Thanks to this DIY and to Jsmacks for pointing me to the thread, the passenger side instruction is not accurate as the OP figured out.

Huh? How did it illuminate blue originally then white after you installed the opposite side?

No, I meant that after installing the driver's side, I thought that they sent me a pair of blue ones. And I would have been OK with it. But after doing the passenger side, is when I realized they sent me one blue and one white. So check yours before installation.
