Has anybody been able to find the rear sills that illuminate ??

And how do I go about getting the front from Swell at a discount?
Thank You

No illuminated rear sills, too small I guess. Just go to Sewell's website and you register as a Club Lexus member. Pretty easy and a good discount. Enjoy the new door sills.

Thanks for the info
I'm in a light upgrade mode :~)
$194.00 at V-led.com for various bulbs and now I'm off to Swell for some sill plates !

That's where I got my illuminated sills. Not cheap but they make a world of difference. I went white instead of blue to match my LED interior lights

zmanou812, some quick installation tips. On the new sills, take the white plastic clips they come with (4 left, 4 right) and slide them into the back of the sills. When you remove the old sills, the white clips will come up with the sill and the black pieces they snap into will stay in the door opening. Snap the new sills in place after you plug them in. The connection is towards the pillar between the front and back doors. Couldn't be easier. Save your old sills for times you're having your RX serviced and don't want to worry about scratches. Good luck with your upgrades.

Tell me do the new sills come with the Plastic clips???
If not where do I get them?
I removed my originals to take a peek under there and one plastic clip broke

That stinks! The new sills come with the clips and the black pieces they snap on to. You'll just have to transfer one of the clips over if you switch back to the old sills. Takes two seconds.

Illumination upgrade Update
The sills came in and are on and look great,
Still can't figure why they cost so much ? when 04's cost $60.00 for 4 ea.
They could have just sold us the metal illumination part of the sill and made you reuse
the plastic original sills that would have cut cost but they don't offer that.
The fact that my 04 had 4 illumated sills and my 2010 just has 2 baffles me too,
I hope Lexus isn't trying to cut corners and cost already !
I also installed 6000K leds in the Fog, Reverse, Puddle and 4 doors they are bright blue & rich looking.
I'm going for the dark garage door buttons next and the center console storage area, LoL,
I bought a half dozen differant led bulbs to try differant ideas up there and in the console.
I will update later.

That's easy, $$$ for Toyota Corp. Tons of money is made on these aftermarket parts, both new installations or replacement of damaged parts. It's how the industry rolls, and the more expensive the car the more expensive the part. Luxury has it's price.
