What kind of gas will they fill up with? Has anyone wondered?

it may be 87 Octane or it could be 91/93 Octane.
one tank of 87 won’t damage anything

Where did you get the puddle led lights? Were they plug and play?

When I installed my Lexus Puddle Lights a few years ago, none of the current available "plug and play" puddles lights were available. I had to go bore a hole and install a projector light and wire it in. Progress.

Oh ok. I thought they were installed based off your earlier comment. Please update the thread with pics once you get them installed.

Bead Maker works

Tried Bead Maker Paint Protectant for the first time. I’m a little late to the party. Great gloss

I don’t know if they have improved the design, otherwise you will have half of the logo is cut off. This only happens with SC, others Lexus seem OK. To correct this problem, you will have to disassemble the light, rotate the lense 90 degree, then shave the cut out a little for the light to snap fit. Hope it’s not a case.
Do the search on this subject, there are plenty of infos.

The problem is not the light, it’s the SC door design. Less just hope you got the one that works with SC.

Now I remember, when the new plug and play ones came out, I wanted to disable my puddle lights because they were too big. I tried one of the ones I bought for the RX and I found out that because of the design of the door, the logo was cut off. So yeah make sure you have a clear match on the puddle lights for the SC.
