You could still contact them via email with part request. I do really miss Sewell parts. They have one of the best website for looking up parts, references and even installation instructions on a lot of stuffs. I am wondering if they could just have that portion of the website active?

Default all these web sites seem to be the same engine underneath

This might have been answered in a later post (long thread), but all these sites appear to use the same lookup engine underneath, with the same parts diagrams and cross-reference engine.:

mylparts
lpartsworld
trademotion
lppparts

even though the first two are associated with a CA dealership, and the last two a FL dealership

interesting

Okay so I just looked up lppparts.com on their accessories catalog and I noticed that for all their parts they list an MSRP price and then their price.

Now what I don't get is why do they list the MSRP if their price on the item is literally about 2x the original cost? It just seems weird that they would do that? For example: The MSRP on the factory GFX kit is about $1,000 but THEIR price is listed next to it at around $2,000??? And that goes for all their parts in that catalog.

Is this right or am I missing something?

http://originallexparts.com there is a pic of the led headlight on right now
[IMG]https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clublexus.com




I have a 2007 IS350 and I love it, aside from the look of the front of the car. I'm looking to change that with the installation of the 2012myLED lights or similar alternatives. I know Sewell is now gone and I'm not exactly sure where I can go about purchasing these lights. Would anyone happen to know of a store in Toronto that sells these lights? Additionally I know there are cheaper options on eBay that exist - does anyone have any experience with them and can comment how they compare in terms of reliability and quality to the official replacement? If so, a link to purchasing them would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance everyone![/QUOTE]

Whoever forces Sewell to close its website is ridiculously stupid and doing a big disservice to the whole Club Lexus community. It is the best website ever made to find parts and do it yourself guide.

Anyways, I'm so happy Sewell is back off-line. I just email you guys with a part.

Scrolling thru their website on Ebay, as far as price, well, it makes me miss Sewell even more.
