Default Re-dying seats

Has anyone redyed their GX leather seats? Previous owner obviously didn't park in a garage, have tint on the car or use a sunshade. Luckily everything in the car still looks great except some fading on the seats. Its not horrendous but bad enough to make me want to get it fixed. I just cleaned and conditioned the seats with Lexol and they are in overall good shape, just faded. Anyone have experience to share of getting their seats redyed?

We have a 2014 GX and a 2014 RX. I just dyed the RX seats last week and they look brand new again. I followed this info from the RX site.

Thanks for the info. I have look at that product before and thought about trying it myself but didn't know if I trusted myself enough. Any issues doing it yourself?

I was the same way. The dye kit sat here for a month before I decided to try. If you follow the instructions and take your time, it's not problem. I didn't use the spray bottle. I used the foam brushes supplied and also bought some from Lowes. I put on three very light coats,waiting about an hour between coats. After everything was dry,I applied 2 coats of clear coat that the company sells. Again,light coats. The seats look brand new again and it was super easy.
