On my 95 gs300 with 130k, the speedometer and tachometer needles are not lit up anymore. They flickered till their death. l find it rather difficult to read the speedometer now. What are my options to fix this problem? replace the needle? entire instrument panel? replace some other part?

l have the same problem. Ive looked everywhere for a new instrument cluster. But unfortunately everytime ive ordered one, they never worked. Also, you cannot replace the needle you have to get a whole instrument cluster.

Have your local Lexus dealer take a look at it. Might be something small, a lose connection or might need to be a new gauge cluster.

hm mm.. and here l thought that nothing ever went wrong with Lexus's.

hi there ruben!


that is a very very common problem to Lexus's.

the dealership can sell u a replacement speedometer & tachometer that will cure ur problem. it is very expensive & it is the only way to do it. a junkyard cluster is a bad idea.

here in San Jose California; there is a person who can actually repair the pointers themselves! l do not know his name but call 1 650 965 0990 & Steve will know (Steve smith auto).

i hope this helps. good luck!
