Jeeperz360
Okay, there is a guy on eBay who does the clusters. His name is jeeperz360, I sent mine in about a month ago. I sent it out on a Friday and received it back on Monday of the next week (so about 9 day turnaround). He answers emails basically before you can hit send, and trust me I sent at least 20 emails. He is super helpful and did a really good job. When you look at the auction mine is the pic with white LED backlight and blue needle tips.
My "glass" on the cluster broke in shipping it back and he refunded the money I paid for the new one. I had an awesome experience and they have great customer service and definitely better pricing than the alternative.

I emailed DNA and they got back to me pronto, on a Sunday evening, after 10pm their time in Florida. Extremely impressed. And I would say the prices are comparable. The only thing that might be a downside for some is that stock red needles are all you are going to get, which is fine with me because I was either gonna go straight stock, or get blue needles. At Lextech I was looking at $166 for the back lighting and another $99 for needles. For $199 DNA completely refurbishes the cluster back to new and this includes needles and backlighting. He also said they bench test your unit there so you don't get it back and find your needles not working. I guess Lextechs fix is to remove the cover and move your gauge back by hand, risking breaking the needle motor. Don't know if they will bite, but I hit him up to see if he would do a group buy deal or something for us folks here.

That would be cool (group deal). BTW, the $166 LexTech backlight price is for the "32" upgraded LED version. The 16 lamp LED version is only $99 and stock bulbs are just $29.

It looks really cool actually, there are no hotspots in the backlighting either. I will post a pic later on my computer, I can't do it from my phone. And it's unique too, not like what everyone else has.

FWIW Lextech is also no longer a vendor on Club Lexus and any GB price posted on our forum is long over as they haven't been one for several years. I don't believe OLT still runs it, but I'm not sure.
