Will that work with the LED ambient lighting in the “luxury package” option?

I really like this one. I tried to order from ALIEXPRESS but it rejects my credit card. Their appeal process requires a photo of my credit card, as well as a photo of my last card statement and my photo ID. NOT going to happen. Does anyone know if this particular product can be purchased from a US source? I couldn't find it on Amazon.

I just installed the ghost light projectors, bought them off of Amazon. Easy to install and they look fancier than the stock light. Time will tell how they last! Anyhow, there’s two “tricks” to installing them. The first is prying out the old lights. I used a box cutter to slip in between the old clear housing and the door, then pry out. Only one side can come out (the side opposite the connector) so you can look at the new light to see which side comes out first. The second trick is figuring out how to remove the connector. The push tab to release the connector is outside the housing, just over the incoming wires. Push inwards on the tab (towards the wires) and the connector slides right out. Once I figured this out, total install time was less than 10 minutes. I’m not sure how well the new housing “locks” the connector in place so if a light quits working in the future that might be something to check.

Make sure you guys buy the glass lens one. The cheap plastic lens one will look dull and blurry after awhile..

The factory lens is plastic. I’ve never seen a glass lens on any vehicle. I changed out my front door lights in 2017 or 2018 (with plastic) & they have been great ever since.

Did you get plain lights or the logo projectors? I'd like to have lights with a higher color temperature, but don't care for the logo projection. I haven't been able to find them, though. Thanks for the install tips, BTW.

What does this have to do with glass lenses? I have the logo, but mine has a little bit of color. My RX is a 2016.

Are we talking about the projector beam that shines to the ground? I have went thru numerous ghost lights and the cheap ones with the plastic lens will look like **** over time. The glass lens one projects a nice bright and crisps image. But you use whatever you want ! I am just giving my recommendation

Second generation lights are now available. They look like they provide a sharper image.

what site did you purchase your LOGO projection lights? I want to get a set for my new 2022 RX350 are they just for the front doors or can you get them for all 4 ?

Thanks in advance.

Found Lexus logo white light projectors for my 2018 RX 450hl and bought four one for each door. Searched different sites and found some using search terms Lexus logo lights at Esty.com and they look good. Screenshot for reference.
