Exterior Door Handle Light

[Stuart-S]

Right, this is a strange one, but it's niggle time.

My previous Lexus - an RC - had very well-illuminated door handles, which lit up when approaching with the key and were a godsend at night. My LC however, is next to useless in this regard, especially with black paint. So first question, is everybody's this bad? I wouldn't mind if there was a light on the wing mirrors, but there isn't.

Assuming everyone else has the same problem, does anybody know what would be involved in replacing the LED with something a bit more powerful? I would imagine a glow around the handle would look pretty cool at night and useful, but I'm guessing it would be a big job and would require removing the door panel, which I am somewhat reluctant to do.

Yes. I have the same issue but in the overall scheme of things this is pretty unimportant and I haven't done anything.
