XLE Gen 3 Door Handle? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

As some of you may already know, I have been on a mad search for a white gen 3 XLE driver's door handle (outside). The XLE handle is different because of one small thing, it lights up around the keyhole. This is nothing major, however I'd really like to keep the feature. I have just about given up on the search. Before I do so, does anyone know where I can get one of these? I have tried to order one through Toyota with no success, and cannot find one at my local junkyard. None on eBay. Where else is there to look?

just get another handle and put your lock cylinder on the new handle. the light up ring is on the lock not the handle.

Are you kidding me? Don't tell me it's that simple after all of this. People that I have seen advertising door handles all have them listed as not for the XLE, but for the other cars. Maybe they are compatible after all?

Well if it is that simple it's a bit annoying though it will certainly solve the problem. Thanks for the help, let me know after you are able to check it out for me.
