Want to swap 1998 LX470 non-nav bezel

Hi,

I saw someone's LX470 which have LC A/C bezel I asked him, he says I bought it used from dealer like what you see. He don't know how 1st owner did it.

So, anybody know how to do it?

I had to swap the bezel from my 98 LC -> 00 LX and vice versa. The buttons that controlled the air flow weren't working in the LX.
After swapping, the LC (with LX bezel) works perfectly, as does the LX (with LC bezel). It's a very straightforward process just pop out the bezel w/ trim tool and unplug the wiring harnesses. All the wiring harnesses match up nicely between both.

I tried to install the bezel of the LC in my LX directly, but it didn't work. Even when wire harnesses and plugs are match. I faced what you faced “The buttons that controlled the air flow weren't working in the LX.” But with LC bezel.
