The screws on the sides are very thin towards the end and there are six of them on each side. They look the same to me. But I didnt put the exact screw that was exactly in the hole cause they look exactly the same. Should that matter?

DO you have Instant Messenger so I can talk to you direct

Do you work for Lexus, cause u sound like you know what ur talking about?

Those needles each have a ground on the second board where they stick, I'll check that out and make sure that its touching the contacts

I put the screws back together, but the gauge was working fine before I changed the bulbs

Yes I did, what do you think I should do? Do you have AIM

Cant be I replaced them or my 1992 ES and that didnt happen, I didnt touch anything just replace the bulbs and put the cluster back together thats it.

I just replaced the 8 bulbs behind the cluster on my friends 1994 ES300 and now the temp gauge goes strate up to hot and wont go down what do you guys think I did wrong or should do.

Alright guys, just had the bilsteins put on my car and man what a world of a difference over stock. I feel barely any bumps and the car has no body roll. Also the car sits up more now, but other than that the car rides like a new car. GREAT STRUTS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

They will fit for sure, but you have to make sure that they won't overheat and go out.

Well I ordered the Bilstein Struts today and struts mounts, I will post you guys when they get installed.

I've always figured equivilant models are about the same.

Which struts do you use because I am going to purchase them today and need to know which ones are going to give me a smooth ride but can take rougher road bumps to.

Smoother!? Never heard of anyone wanting an ES / Camry to ride more like a boat. They out "caddy" the best rides caddy has ever come up with. Monroe's top tier Caddy replacement's are under KYB's ES strut. I really doubt you'd find struts with less rebound that what's in there OEM. I think you're on a near impossible quest.  :D

Based on the fact that you've got a '92. I'd say you need replacement springs & struts. You can regard yours, or upgrade to the later ones. All suspension wear out, most tend to need replacing around 10 years I guess.

So KYB or Tokico what which ones are better? money is no option

I have a 1992 Lexus ES 300 and I was wondering if Bilstein struts are better than the OEM ones? I heard that the Bilsteins are heavy duty struts and will give you a smoother ride what do you guys think?
