Are those puddle lights? I got a pair and install was easy but the angle only shows "Lexus" when the door opens, most of the "L" symbol is cut off. Wife thinks it's neat

You need to realign the lense so the “L” won’t cut off.

Thanks, I tried. Worked w/ the adjustment screws within the fixtures and couldn't get the full logo to show no matter what I did but Lexus is clear and bright at night.

You will have to flip the lense 90 degrees or so (I can't remember) and need to shave the door cut out a bit. It worked for me.

So if you bought one of this shadow or puddle lights, disassemble it and flip the lense 45 degree downward. You also need to shave a bit of the socket opening to have the full Lexus logo appearance.
I like them.
