right below 312 for all. not including shipping. and im hoping it will be worth it. i emailed lextech today and i was told that the lighting has a lifetime guarantee.

so looks like i will be another satisfied customer. side note:: their customer service is actually pretty good. every question i ask them is given a same day basis answer. hopefully this service will stay the same when they get my cluster.

Well Lextech used to be a vendor on here so I wasn't able to speak freely about it at one point, now that they are not a vendor maybe it won't be as big a deal..

I've heard alot of people that where happy with there service, personally my service was great until i got my cluster back and had a few questions, and didn't like the answers i was getting, then all i got was attitude after spending 400 bucks..


I don't really want to get into it, as i know it will just start drama on the forums, but in the end, next time i'd rather just pay lexus $1,000 for a new oem cluster then deal with them again..

...

when i started that thread, i had alot of other memeber's PM'ing me with similar complaints and Lextech issues.. Maybe with all the Lextech drama that went on, they stepped up there customer service... Hopefully

Any custom work theres mixed reviews. I heard good and bad as well. I went threw the same thought when I purchased my set of cluster and climate lights. Either way. You pay the price for being unique. Pay to play. I decided to Pay.

Well despite the negative, there is positive as well, and I was just doing my research. I’m very specific when it comes to my Lexus so I just wanted the best. I was informed by Lextech that their product comes with a lifetime guarantee (and I hope to get that in writing), so I will be sending my cluster off to Lextech tomorrow.
Thanks for all the advice guys!

Yes, you can drive it, but your airbag light will come on if you do.
