No problem. I went to their parts department this morning and picked them up. As soon as they handed the sill protectors to me, I walked over to the 5-door LB they had in their showroom to see if they would fit.

When I found that they fit, but not properly, I walked back to the parts department and returned them.

Which one is pic number 3?

Part #: PT347-52061

is for a cargo net.

Those look like aftermarket sill protectors. What's "Andries"?

You saw these, right?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=250203308726

If only someone made these with only white LEDs I'd get a set. Don't care much for chintzy, multi-color LED, flashy things like the one on ebay.

So the Sedan does have "raised" areas on the door sills that the sill protectors sit on? The door sills on the LB are smooth so when I put the sill protectors on the LB's sills, the double sided tape on the sill protectors didn't stick to anything since the sill protectors have that edge around them causing the double sided tape to be recessed in the sill protectors.

The ones you have are the ones I got that I promptly returned.

Yup. That would do it. Strange since I don't remember seeing those on my '07 LB and my '09 LB doesn't have those either. Official Toyota sill protectors are available for the '07 LB.

IsLNdbOi, if you don't mind my asking, what is the price you paid for the sedan's door sills? TIA.

Would be nice to have sills with white LEDs, since my whole car has the interior redone in white LEDs.

Any chance of those getting custom made? I saw those ones on eBay that are 7-color, or orange. Again, not white, so I turned them down.

How hard is it to wire these to the door lighting switch?

I don't think it would be too difficult to modify the eBay ones. Take out all the LEDs and replace with white LEDs. Just have to find a way to keep them from flashing and strobing. I'd only want the LEDs to come on if the doors are opened and stay on as long as the doors are open.

I miss the white LED illuminated instrument cluster on my '07LB. The amber illuminated ones on these '09LBs are nice, but not as classy and nice looking as the white illuminated ones.

Thanks for the info. I checked with Richmond Toyota today and it seems those door sills for the sedan is not even available in Canada.
