Nothing will be permanently damaged so unplug your cluster and test it out first, before sending it in.

Hello Shawn,
Do you have any pictures for before and after?

Sorry I have been traveling for residency interviews. As soon as I get back I will add before and after photos. Been a long week and wanted to add finished product once Tanin had a chance to fix the minor issues I was having after the first service.

Had mine replaced from a place in Texas. Changed color to blue. Although the picture they showed in there ad looked bright
(because of the flash) it turned out to look the same brightness as what I had. That was 3 years ago. If anyone has sent in to Tanin and it came back brighter please let all of us know

I had it done with Tanin and it is much brighter than OEM, but not as bright at the Electeoluminescent Option the 2010 SC430 had. But very bright, nonetheless. I'm happy with the results. Will post before and after photos hopefully tnt if UPS delivers it.

As promised here are the photos before and after. I will also post them in the first relevant post and thread. As you can see that Tanin did repair the scratch marks as they promised, so I was very happy. As you can see the background is much brighter. Also, as you can see since the LED's are so much brighter the outline of the other icons is visible. Not a huge deal for me. I am incredibly happy with the results and would recommend Tanin's service.They had excellent customer service and were very prompt in their responses to any issues I encountered. Even though the speedometer and Tach are not at zero in the photos, once I connected the cluster to the car they reset to 0. Also the Fuel and Temp needles now are reading more accurately (will update if any changes). If you have any questions, please let me know.
