alex91ls400 Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 Hi, I assume that by now you've probably taken care of this. I replaced my lamp on my 91 and it was very easy. Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tansupplyman Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 Is this referring to the shift panel on the console on the left of the shifter??????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VMF Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 it looks like a regular 14 v led from radioshack. there was a post b4 crash but now its gone. those bulbs are ez to replace, just remove the panel and remove the button cover and u will see it. manual on how to remove the cover can be found on the car stereo fixing site, i forgot the site name:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90LS400Lexus Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 I have heard it was very easy to replace the bulbs. The Lexus dealer just put installed a new "airbag" warning light bulb in my car, as the previous owner had disconnected the system and removed the bulb, because they were obviously scared of the airbag. They said they were going to charge me $30. to test the airbag system, as they did not know what the problem was. They went ahead and fixed it after the problem was found (installed bulb & reconnected airbag) and only charged $1.50 for the bulb. I wish I had of known they had it out, as my "door open" light is also not working. That is no big deal though. All of my other warning and instrument lights work fine. I guess if you did not want to do it yourself, that the dealer would probably do it for about $10-$20. or less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex91ls400 Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 I don't have the part number of the bulb. It's a 12 Volt incandescent T1-3/4 wedge base lamp (Not an LED). My dealer had it in stock for $2.23. Surprisingly cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My email is stephen_tong87@hotmail.com thanks" Steve: Try removing the wood panel first. THat should expose any screws underneath the panel.
