Cluster went out! Who to go with?
So i have owned my sc300 for about a week now, and all the needles and backlights decided to go out.
I am going to have it professionally repaired, but i dont know who to go with.
I have used search and I came across 2 options tanin and lextech. I was wondering what is the difference between these two companies and which one would you recommend?
Thanks

I can speak from experience about Lextech. They offer great prices and a lifetime guarantee. I chose to do the backlighting myself and they look good. I used the T1.5 from superbrightleds.com. I ordered 8 of them. Use the 120 degree angle not 100 degree angle. I also used the white lighting and let Lextech do the needles. Decision is yours. Lot of threads on this already. Just search. Check the lighting section also. Good luck.

tanin does offer lifetime warranty too
but i havent read any reviews from them.
the backlight seems pretty alright to do given the patience but to much can go wrong with the needles.
i have read reviews about lextech and they seem pretty reliable (one 1 disgruntle review) but nothing about tanin

I hadn't heard of anything doing this other than Lextech. It did take about 3 weeks to get done, but that was 3 years ago and I haven't had a single problem with any of it since then.

To add to this thread, they also installed a new LCD screen for me. Cost me 40 bucks. I bought the new LCD off of Ebay. No problems with mine whatsover. Had to send back two needles but it wasn't a big deal. Customer service is pretty good.

I have consulted with Tanin (he's a sponsor on this board as well)
I mentioned about my problems with the speed, he said everything is included which seems like he has ways to simulate the speedo meter, perform calibration to the gauges etc. Seems like a stand up guy, and his turn around time quoted was 2-3 days + shipping times of course. Prices include new backlights and LED embedded needles. When I don't need to drive the car for a while, I'm going to pull out mine and send it to him to get it refurbed
