NX350H Puddle Lights

Unfortunately, nothing on the underside of the black plastic trim.

This is how the door looks on 450 Takumi

I actually realised today that my Takumi comes  with puddle lights installed (only had the car for a week) 😀

Good to know as I was going to search it. My current UX Takumi has it so was a bit concerned when I saw this post. The problem with Lexus is that aside from Takumi version the rest of the products are not exciting. Or should say once you own a Takumi version there is no way back. Last year I went for the service and they gave me a courtesy car, it was UX but it was rubbish in comparison with Takumi version. Tiny 7” sat nav and manual seat and etc.

not sure I would agree with that - had a top of the range IS, then to the NX 300h Premier, and assumed that when I went for the NX 450h I would go for the Takumi BUT then I found out it only came with a Sun roof.  I know this is a purely personal taste, but that is 1 thing I would not have.  So I went with the premium plus pack and a couple of extras and am very please with the car (the app not so much)

yes these are one or two things from the Takumi I would have liked, but feel my choice was the correct one for me

yes I have had cars with Sun roofs of various designs, but that was 1 line I was not prepared to cross

Yes agree premium plus pack is not far from Takumi and it’s a good choice. What they gave me was entry level I guess.  I never used sunroof during last several years and when I ordered NX350h Takumi I saw sunroof as an option but definitely knew it was not for me. Panoramic roof is much nicer but again as you said it’s a personal taste.

Do you know please from the light whether it is an LED light or old style bulb? Does it give good illumination at night?

Sorry, I don’t know, I did not disassemble it,

as for wherther it is good - this is my first car with this kind light (previous was RAV 4 without such luxury) so I have nothing to compare to. I guess it would show me if there is a puddle I might step in, but I would not say it is very bright.
