My Rav4Hybrid Limited supposedly includes the "Interior light kit." What is that, where is it installed, and how it the vehicle different from those without it?

Please read to ensure wether you have this Light Kit installed or not.
If you DO have this please let me know.

I understand the instructions, but still have understanding of what light are added by the kit unless it is illumination of the floor when the doors are opened. that seems like a lot of work for two lamps. (dealer cost $185)

This is one area, of just a few, that I find honestly lacking; interior lighting. I don't believe, Toyota gives this a high enough priority. Maybe it is my aging eyes, but the vehicle interior lighting, needs real improvement. I feel they a great job with exterior light. I keep a high lumen, LED flashlight, in the glovebox, for this very reason.

Well I guess the light kit is the dim light on the floor from under the dash. They're so dim they don't show up in photos with my phone camera.

The posted link above for replacement LED lamps does not show a pic of that floor area. May be a just an oversight, or does not apply if you have not the light kit installed. Also, I recently replaced my Honda lamps with a similar kit. Keep in mind that "White" LED light is much BLUER than the existing lamps. Fortunately for me, My Honda was blue with blue gray interior. Blue light on other color interiors might look much more "muddy."

Hey, so i have the lighting kit in my car.

My cars seems to have a bunch of dealer extras i did not pay for. Like window tint all around, body side molding and the lighting kit.

The kit consists of 2 LEDs on the outside under the car on both sides, so thats 4 in all.
and then there are floor well LEDs that are dim, but nice. and there there is a light string or something like that that is above the heated seat switches and stuff. it is dim also. Plus all the interior lights are also LED. Tag lights also.

But it is a nice look. Makes the Rav look like a Lexus on the inside.
