The VFD assembly does not contain the mileage. The mileage is on the main board.

^^ exactly its not a simple changing of the lcd screen. I don't think alot of people realize how bad it is to loose your original cluster, basically your car would always be marked as not original mileage the first time you take it in for an oil change with the wrong mileage (especially if its lower than what you had before). at least thanks to this service you have some hope of making your car original like again, but you need to fix it right away.
Seems like there are still so many people having lots of issues with Lextech to this date. If you have valid complaints or concerns with that company, probably wouldn't be a bad idea to lodge a complaint to the Hamilton Country Clerk where Lextech is supposedly located. They can look into these ongoing problems and they already have them listed on the state "do not do business with list" but hearing from all of those who have personally been scammed may motivate them to look into it more. These problems had been on going not months but years, its time to at least try and do something about it. The county clerk phone number is 423 209-6500. Best of luck.
Remember not to personally call out anyone on this thread, that is not going to get anywhere or do any good. The goal is to get Lextech to stop doing people wrong, especially CL members.

Yeah, just moving or programming vehicle mileage from one cluster to another.

I originally sent my manual cluster to Lextech about 4+ years ago, no issues, all good.
Sent my cluster to Lextech a month ago. Still no cluster. However, I did receive an email from the original owner Brian who now re assumed the company due to the negative feedback. He indicated that he would going to make all the clusters that were received would be ready to go and shipped by Friday.
Well... I haven't heard since that email was sent (2 days ago) but I am hope to be getting it back soon with the level of quality one would assume.
Holding my breath, but I hope I don't run out of air...

All considered I'm happy to get it back. Would be worse for me to lose the $ and the cluster. I did file a complaint on the local BBB, not much I know, but I'll do what I can. At some point I want to get this addressed, will likely look in the direction on Tanin.

LexTech group buy 2005
I was part of a Group Buy in 2005 for Lextech 32 LED back lighting and waterfall needles. The needles were hard to see during the day after the install and so were the needles.
2016, I've decided to fix the cluster. I've only driven it 17,000 miles since 2005 because I got a Pickup for work. I was eyeing Tannin Needle Kit and thought I would go back to OEM bulbs so I took the Cluster apart. I don't think I can reverse the solder at the bulb locations. Tannin said my needles cannot not be reversed either.
I'm looking for an unmolested cluster now.
