Let \(n \geq 2\) be a fixed integer, let \(q\) and \(c\) be two integers with \(q > n\) and \((n, q) = (c, q) = 1\). For every positive integer \(a\) which is coprime with \(q\) we denote by \(\overline{a}_c\) the unique integer satisfying \(1\leq\overline{a}_c \leq q\) and \(a\overline{a}_c \equiv c\pmod q\). Put \[ L(q)=\{a\in\mathbb Z^{+}: (a,q)=1,\, n \mid a+\overline{a}_c \}. \] The elements of \(L(q)\) are called D. H. Lehmer numbers. In this paper the authors prove that every sufficiently large integer can be expressed as the sum of three D. H. Lehmer numbers and the number of the representations of \(N\) is \[ \frac{N^2}{2}\left(1-\frac 1n\right)^3 \frac{\varphi^3(q)}{q^3}\prod_{p\mid (q,N)}\left(1-\frac 1{(p-1)^2}\right) \prod_{p\mid q,\, p\nmid N} \left(1+\frac 1{(p-1)^3}\right)+O(N^2q^{-1/2}d^9(q)\log^3q), \] where the constant \(O\) depends only on \(n\) and \(d(q)\) is the divisor function.
