Default illuminated door sills

So built my fsport and the illuminated door sill option says see dealer. It doesn't appear it's a factory installed option at the moment. My dealer feels it's not available yet. Any ideas?

I have. Feeling a lot of the accessories are not available yet. I asked my dealer to order the hitch kit for mine and they said that it is listed but has no part number yet.

My 4RX (non-F) came with them from the factory. BTW, it's only the front door sills. (My '04 RX had all four sills lit.)

Default Illuminated Door Sills and Dash Cam

Installed these bad boys today, overall I'm extremely satisfied with the results. Let me know if you guys have any questions, want more pictures, or a DIY!







Really small dash cam, super discreet and excellent video quality, 1080p

Yes, they are the original Lexus Factory OEM Door Sills. I bought them here: http://factorylexusparts.com/2016-rx...ed-door-sills/

Use coupon code CL5 for ClubLexus Discount!




They are pretty bright. Sorry, pictures kind of blurry, best i could take with my iPhone lol...

Wonder if Lexus IS making the blue illuminate ones for the 450h? Although the white would prob go better with my ultra white f sport.

wow how did you install the illuminated door sills?

Was it as easy as poppin and lockin? Was there a connector for the door sills to light up so it was just plug and play??

Very nice!!!!

Agree with you Bearcat. I bought the white sills instead of blue so it would match the interior LED lights on my '10 450h. It doesn't specify color on Lexus' site for '16 RX accessories.

SoKali-GS, the sills look great. Do you have a picture of the underside? I was interested in knowing if they use the same tabs to secure as mine. They slid out of the sill so the grommets on the frame don't have to be removed. And I assume the plug is right there underneath. Just pop off the cover, plug in and snap the sill back into place.

how did you mount the dash cam under the windshield? Does it come with the package or you bought separately?

I've never seen the hybrid blue sills lit up. I just want to make sure I get the coolest ones!
