I didnt want to get banned for this. But since I dont work for the guy. And to my awareness, not a vendor here.
Try Brian at WWW.LEXTECH.ORG
Yeh I've been to that site before. I was acutally gonna post it since I've been thinking about redoing my cluster in white, and possibly my needles. Wonder how many guys here have it done on their GS?

LLS was a forum sponsor and they posted under the LLS name in 04 and 05 LIKE HERE . Brandon (lead engineer) took the business near the time the forum sponsor was up for renewal and it just never happened (renewing). The vendor name has not been active since it was disabled by eliminating the sponsorship.

Nothing secretive or anything and no one will get in trouble for posting it. THEY (brandon) cannot post it because he does not advertise with the site. That's all. No secret handshakes or anything

Pwidow0- LLS began on CL with myself, then went to brandon since he had more time to work with it. The GS is the same (basically) as the es and sc with respect to the fact the needles will not cross over, they are designed with the same frame so not unlike each other. So depending on how you look at it either (a) over 5,000 club lexus members done or (b) I'd guess at least 250 GS units.

Anywho, that's about it for me on the subject also since I had a hand in it at one time I also have to pretty much up-shut. Just clarifying.

Okay, thank you for clearing that up! I just found it odd that there was 4 pages of people asking for a PM like the rest of us weren't supposed to find out who did them or something. I can understand about not posting if you aren't a forum sponspor. Supraforums is the same way. Again thanks for clarifying that, and I didn't mean for anyone to get in trouble. Was just wondering.

Hopefully I will be getting my own custom set done shortly. My needles are starting to flicker at certain spots on the speedometer.

I was the one who started the "PM me" thing but only cause someone did that to me a while back and I thought we werent supposed to post about it because the owner had some beef with the mods. But ive been yelled at in similar situations on SF.

I wasn't talking about the white ebay faces but actually changing the backlight color of them to white. Like this


Yeh I know exactly what you mean about SF, we got in trouble for it at work also trying to sell something, lol.

I had my faces done like that. I also had JDM amber needles reworked. The JDM needles are apparently reverse polarity, so I just had him put the amber shells over the usdm needle bases. It looks sick.

Lextech sells the parts to diy. I consider myself quite savvy at electronics among other things, but after seeing how he puts these together. Its just not worth it for the 99bux it cost to redo all four of them.
