  1. Thank you. Yes, it is just the needles on the ES. I turn the brightness down and it does help a great bit. Lexus wanted 2k to replace the instrument cluster and I said no way. They tell me it is an issue with the motherboard. I do not know very much about the electronic aspect of the dash. I was thinking these were filled with some sort of gel. Do you know?
  2. That would be my guess too. It is next to the security light on the dash just to the left of the instrument cluster. I find when my lights are on and the dimmer is all the way off, the dash will not illuminate at all. Good luck.
  3. One thing I noticed with Lexus automobiles is that the service intervals are every 5k and they recomend you change all of your parts at a higher mileage that other cars. I wonder why this is?
  4. Does anyone know or might be able to direct me to a source that would tell me how many SC300 5 speeds were produced in 1996?
  5. Thank you for the note. I have a 96 SC300 5 speed and I took it out for service yesterday and the guy said to me that is a very (rare bird) car. I asked him how many were made and he was not sure. I called Lexus in Torrance, CA today and they were not able to tell me either. The guy said, if I knew Japanese I could call Japan and ask myself. :( I read in someones posting that there were 232 made in 1996. Not sure if that is accurate, but it does make sence since they were no longer made after 1997. I did not know that I was in the ES forum. Question. I have a 1993 ES 300 with 80k on the odo, and the instrument cluster is starting to flicker. Is this happening to yours or do you of know of this happening to anyone else? Thanks,
  6. Have you tried contacting salvage yards? I recently went to one in Arkansas to get a new sun roof to replace mine which cracked for what ever reason. It looks brand new and was half the price of what the dealer wanted.
  7. Hello, You may want to replace the water pump while you have that area of the car apart. I'd hate for you to take it a part twice. The water pump should be replace every 60k if you have not done so already.
  8. Does anyone know or might be able to direct me to a source that would tell me how many SC300 5 speeds were produced?
