Yes, I am looking to get those ghost LEDs as well but concerned about the aftermarket fit - people are reporting that some of them don't fit well and rattle. It's weird that the door courtesy light bulb part number listed on mylparts.com is the same for the base and F-Sport. Base definitely has an incandescent bulb.

Wait, are you saying that the OEM F-Sport door courtesy LED lights are yellowish? Does the image projected by those ghost lights that you got from Taoboa.com have a circle around the Lexus logo or is it just like in the picture you attached? I see on the website lots of different variation of the projected image but since I don't know Chinese I can't figure anything out. How does one order from Taoboa.com without knowing Chinese?

Can anyone recommend good side door courtesy shadow ghost LEDs for 2018 Rx 450h? The ones that fit well and don't rattle, have no circle around the projected Lexus logo, don't start flickering or have any fading or distortion appearing in the projected image after a couple months of use, etc. Also, is it worth replacing the rear door ones since the lights are at an angle and the projection gets distorted?

Alternatively, does anyone know if the door courtesy lights have replaceable bulbs? From the part diagram it looks like they are . Does anyone know which LED bulbs to get to replace the OEM yellowish incandescent ones?

You might look for the actual name of the technology. These lights use diffractive optical elements, a piece of glass lens micro etched with many layers of complex patterns that combine many phases of light to produce the logo. This was also used in the first Microsoft Kinect and currently Apple iPhone X to create the pattern of dots for 3D scanning. In mass production, this glass is fairly inexpensive.

Is it the same lights that you posted the link for on that Chinese website for both front and rear doors? Do the ones in the rear work well? No image distortion since they are at an angle?

Yes, it's the same LED front & rear in that website and the price is for each unit. The rear has to distort a bit because of the angle.
