IMO, the center console should be white (OEM) not green. Once again Lexus is draining the pockets of consumers for no reason lmao.

Yes, it's real stuff.. it's very complicated, but it can be done.. just requires alot of labor..... probably 6-8 hours..

It's a VERY involved process.

It's basically tearing everything to the bare circuit board and desoldering every little LED and resoldering on the new LED's. LOTS of labor and patience and time.

Usually these things I would leave it to someone that is skilled in soldering, or else you'll burn out the board and your screwed.

Some lights on the interior isn't LED, which will require a LED and a resistor.

Whatever it is, I hope you guys promise good and quality work with a warranty that lasts for a long time.

Lextech (a former sponsor for this forum) did custom lighting and in almost every single vehicle that it was done to had light failure and flickering. Light shows in our Lexus is NOT fun.

Very well said...

Some of the LED that was used was so small that I can barely see them..
There were like 1-2mm....

It's very delicate work...
The complete interior conversion is about $800... with about 6 hours installation time....

Gauge cluster conversion with needle and other misc was done like couple of weeks ago..
But center console with all the green color changed and high power dome lights.. has been changed like 6 months ago.. no problem at all....
He does provide warranty till you own your car...
