Na, it should all be wired up and ready to go. I just got mine 10 mins ago and it's hooked up.

soFresh sucks Sewell sent the wrong lights. I was so anxious the entire day waiting for mine. Every car that drove by the house I looked out the window lol. Darryl should get things sorted out quickly. Had the same problem with illuminated scuff plates being the wrong color. Emailed him and he overnighted a new set.

They'll fix it for you, just let them know. When they forgot to send me an item I let them know about it and they had it shipped overnight.

Just email or PM them. Ish happens.

They gave me the wrong quantity of oil filters once and got the remaining amount 2 days later.

Too many people ordering them probably messed up on the shipping. Who know the guy that order the stripped version might of got a loaded one lol. Not like he would say he did at that.

My goodness. I can certainly tell everyone here when something goes wrong it goes really wrong ...and then viral!

Robert - we got your PM, your email as well as discussed this by phone. You did good by checking and verifying the parts as they arrived. But it seems you already started the installation process - yikes! It's no wonder to me why your frustrated. The new parts are being expedited to you today!

As for you Tony, it seems every other order we send you something goes awry! You'll need to bear in mind on this one it's going to be a bit before your new bumper is available for us to ship. We'll keep you apprised, but just prepare yourself to wait.

Impetuous threads just like this are the ones we try to avoid for this very reason. The bumper in Tony's case was a clear damage issue since it was 'torn' in the middle of the bumper. Fortunately, Tony will be receiving a second bumper to replace the damaged bumper. We'll be handling the claim with FedEx directly on the back-end.

Should you remain to have concerns, simply consult your local Lexus dealership. They'll have the same as we do.

Why would you even post a thread like this before contacting Sewell themselves? They're the ones to talk to, not us, lol.

The internets are a crazy place.
