I am a new owner to a '94 ls400 and maybe there is info you guys can share. First off i have the blackout problem with the dash lights. Heard everything from circuit board, to replacing the whole dash upwards of $3000. Also the gas gauge does not work at all. Is this tied together?

I was also looking to put a sound system in it. It has the Nakamichi system but two speakers are blown. What is recommended for speakers that can be put in. How much this going to run me? And do i need to get a faceplate to be put in or will the speakers work fine with the Nakamichi controls.

Thanks my ninjas.

I had the same problem. Lights would slowly come on like they had to thaw out as I drove. The gas gauge did not work, drove with the odometer. Sent my dash, easy to unplug and pull out, to Mr. Whizard in North Dakota. Cost about $200 and works as good as new along with the gas gauge. http://www.mrwhizard.com/ Good luck. Don't know about the gas mileage. I get about 21.

Thanks, guys. I knew I would get good info here.

I'm confused. (Seems to be a recurring condition with me) I have a 94 LS400 with 16" wheels and a 04 LS430 with 18" wheels. If I upgrade the 04's wheels, can I put the old 04's on the 94 or will the brakes get in the way? Talked to one supplier and they alerted me to this problem and said I could not do it but your response seems to say that this could work. Thanks for your help.
