Super easy installation process for the illuminated door sills. The hardest part was getting front clip to clip in . I had to push and pull the plastic housing in front of the door sill piece.




Original Door Sill Removed- Just pull up and it will come off. No need to be gentle.

Got a question. Picked up mine this morning. Loving so far

Lux package etc...supposed to have illuminated scuff plates (door sills)...but can't get them to light up? Is there a secret to this? Button I am missing?

Timobi..i installed the illuminated door sills on my 15 450h. To turn on the illuminated door sills had to make sure that interior light switch (over rear view mirror) was set to come on when door opens and go out after door closes. Hope this helps and congrats on your new ride, enjoy it!

danais7...that was it! Thank you so much! Really appreciate the info!

Has anyone seen the Hybrid blue illuminated door sills yet?

Update: I ordered the white ones, even though I have a 450h, I think the white will look much better with my Ultra White RX than the blue.

I ordered the hybrid version to match my hybrid. I installed them on Friday - it took less than 15 minutes even while taking a bunch of pictures. Instructions said to disconnect negative battery cable but I skipped that step.

PT944-48161 is the hybrid version per the installation manual. However the box I received said PT944-48160 (gas) version.

Hint: Pull from the very far edges to remove the sills and it should be a cake walk. Hopefully these pictures will help.

Done!

So glad I found this post but curious if the scuff plates will work for my 2007 ES350. Do you know by chance?

aznkorboi

question. To those of you WITH dashcams,

is it a 100 percent necessity?

I've lived a long time without one but not sure if I should spend the money and time to install them.

Is it worth it?

It's not 100 percent necessity, but nice to have. Because video footage doesn't lie, but people does.

aznkorboi

yeah i was watching hit and run youtube videos for an hour.. haha

GOt them on factory lexus, used CL5 code for discount.

They included the instructions so I used those.

VERY EASY. I thought it would take me an hour but it took me 5 mins total.

All you do is grab the current door sill from the back closest to the seat, then pull.

Don't be afraid.

After, you unclip the power that is already there, attach it to the illuminated door sill.

TEST to make sure they work by making sure your DOOR light is depressed.

Then attach it back.

I started with one side and slowly pressed it down.

On the manual it says to BE CAREFUL and make sure you don't pinch the rubber seal or any wires. So I carefully took one side and moved the rubber seal out then pressed down. VERY EASY.

how you wire the rear camera?

pdaeng

Thanks. Looks really neat. But how you power the rear camera. I just want to know where you connect the power to.


BTW, you can use a MirrorTap to power the your Max360.

tomtom74

Rear camera get power from front camera. it's a 2 ch, and front camera is connect to power magic pro then power magic pro are tap to fuse box.

Yes, I know I could mirrortap, but I like using smartcord. I might get hard wire smartcord and tap to fuse box.

Hello Everyone,

I am new to this club and a recent owner of a 2016 RX-350. I am glad to see that the illuminated door sill is a simple DIY option. While doing research on this, I found the official Lexus instructions to install these parts. Please see attached PDF.

Cheers, Thivi
