The match looks good in the pic.That's why I only want the white lit sills like yours.
Did you go with 5 LED bulbs in the doors?

If I can get the white lit,yes.I want to match the LEDs in the doors.
Going by their pic,Sewell seems to have the blue lit.
When I talked to Darrel at Sewell,he said "it’s my opinion they’re blue, but then again can be construed as white."
I want a definite they're white like yours answer.Till then...
Same part# for the 350 and 450 so I'm thinking Sewell has the blue.Maybe someone here will order a set and let us know.

Joeb, you can go first I'm torn between white or the white/blue since I plan on changing the interior lights soon. They'll probably be white. So it makes sense to have everything including the puddle lamps the same color. This has turned into quite the adventure Keep me posted.

My thought would be if you order my part number then it should match what I have. If not, if I had to replace one it would be a different color. Just a thought.

The problems are Sewell shows your part# number for both the 450 and 350.Their rep says he feels they're blue.
I'm very tired and don't understand your second sentence.

Thought I would chime in once more... At night the sills (the ones I got from Carson) are blue. Not blue/white. Kind of a baby blue. I keep hearing whitish blue etc. but they are blue. I don't remember whether I saw them on Lexus website or if I saw them at the dealership. Maybe going to the dealership would answer a lot of questions on how they look.
It's an easy upgrade and are definitely noticeable when you get in or out of the vehicle after hours.

Maybe I preferred the blue because my SCs have the whiteish illumination sills and I wanted something different.

Take the plunge you guys....the water is fine.

Thanks whau.
Those sills are white lit with no blue at all which would match my white LED bulbs I installed in the lower doors .
The 67910-48070-B0 and 67920-48070-B0 part#'s are different than the two listed in this thread.We have 48060 and 48080 on this thread which is weird.
The sills are $50 more at Carson but more important to me is I'd like to use my couple of hundred Lexus credit card points which I don't know if I could with Carson.
I'll email Sewell and see if those part #'s are available through them.

These are on that thread and MEP's has the same ones.White lit!!!

True but I ran into an online parts Lexus dealer who wouldn't take an online order using Lexus points.
