That's nice, anybody know any shops in Toronto or surrounding area that does this?
How does it take to do the whole set up?

I took my stuff out myself and shipped it from texas to california, the work was done in 24 hours then packed up and shipped back, took me about 1.5 hours to remove all the items from the car, the window switches took the longest, the rest of it I had out in about 30 minutes.

ASILVER, how did you know which LEDS to order? Is there a kit or did you have to specify each individual LED. And if so, how did you know what LED style/Bulb to ask for?

how much did you insure it for? I have to think it's $$$$ if your shipment got lost and you had to replace all those parts.

did U know that before or after reading my comment?

I was disappointed. With all the details Lexus put into the vehicle, they fail at this simple point.

I used my brightest flashlight and shine into all the cracks hoping to see some outline of the light from behind, there were none no matter where I shine the light. It's completely covered. I don't know what else I can do to put a back light here.

I insured for $2000, however I have no nav, no Mark levinson....and yes they lost my friggen box, but then found it after a week so WHEW! looking back I think I'd insure for more than $2000 if I did it again.

I don't, I had Tim "the led guy" do it he's a vendor on this forum. I only did the center console stuff and he told me which bulbs went where.

Don't let just any shop do this Tim know what he is doing and understand what need to be removed and soldered back on. IMO he is the man and I would trust anyone else to mod my dash again. He is very professional and will work with on the install
