Door-sill aluminum insert removel
CL,
any1 out there know how to remove the Door-sill aluminum insert (the piece that lights-up 'Lexus' on the lower door-sill) if any1 has pics as to how to remove this piece, even better but if not instructions alone will suffice. reason i ask; is cause today i went for a cruise in my sister's 2010 Cadillac SRX and the Door-sill aluminum inserts glow in a blueish LED kinda hue,looks great. so im thinking of replacing mine in the SC. Also, would any1 happen to know what size LED bulb id need to complete this mod? thanks once again peeps, look forward to reading some responses.

The door sills are just held in with clips just gently pry up from one end front or back use a wide thin screw driver cover the end with tape. Or use a plastic trim removal tool or a putty knife . As soon as you feel one clip release just keep working it around. Once its up
you will find a connector that you unplug and then you can remove the sill. The connector may have a release tab on it that you may have to press in order to remove the connector from the fixture. Take your time. Easy peezy

I bought a set of neiman marcus NEW blue sills from an ebay vendor . My car is the 2005 pebble beach red sills. I thought it would look great with blue . I never got around to installing them I will look at them tomorrow I thought that the bulbs were regular bulbs coated blue I will report after I check them. When I bought them the seller told me that lexus would only sell him the sills if he actually owned the NM model . I just wanted them and I paid a pretty penny for them . I figure they are a good investment . The seller told me he bought the set brand new because his wife allways draged her heels across the face of the sills and his OEM sills were getting scratched . He wound up selling the car and I was able to buy the spare new set from him for $ 286.00 still wrapped in there original paper .

ohhhh man! mrblister has a candyland of pb toys he's got...we need to change his username to PB Toys (like the old KB Toys, RIP!)
I would absolutely put the blue sills in Ebony. That would be sweet. I am totally decking this car out with lighting upgrades (nothing crazy, tastefull).
If you can upgrade/update with OEM---even better!
