@TheRoadcarreview Do you know if this bulbs can work with an IS 300?

I was doing some work on my cluster and for some reason most of the bulbs
blacked out. Do I need to calibrate it or does it sound like the bulbs
burnt out? I did the R109 resistor jump. I did a engine swap and was told
to do this but it didnt work for me. Would you happen to know what bulb
size, part # those bulbs are on the cluster? I’d like to get some LED
replacements on Ebay.

It was the neon, the gauge still worked I just could see it at night. Now
you can replace the neon. For me it was easier to replace the gauge.

THANK YOU! You weren’t kidding when you said you’d put up a tutorial for
this! I’ve been busy since posting on your other SC video tutorial and I’m
glad I checked your page. This will be my first project in January!

@fuckingsob Thanks for the information. I don’t believe I mentioned a
manufacture that did the process only that I thought it was blue. Here is
the website of LexTech. lextech.org/osCommerce/index.php I’ve not used
these guys so do your homework first. Great information to know.

I have a 92 Lexus SC400, can you please pull out one or two bulbs from the
instrument panel so I can see what they look like. I no you have said all
that’s needed is a twist and out it come, what does it look like after it’s
out. Thank You,

@alexisdabest1 Aren’t Corgie’s die-cast models?

TheRoadcarreview says:

Sorry, I no longer have the car, however the bulb itself fits in a jacket.
It kinda looks like a piece of rice. Some will have a bulb condom on them.
I may still have one that I could take a picture of and send you. Ill be
traveling for te next few weeks, but when I get back in town L’ll look to
see if I have one.

What was your reasoning for replacing the entire assembly? Was it no longer
tracking the fuel level? or was the needle just burned out?

fuckingsob says:

You said lextech doesn’t do red needles, but they do, FYI.

I have a 92 SC400, my fule light is out can you tell me where I can buy one
other than the dealer. Also my whole dash is dark, can you tell me where I
can purchas those bulbs? Thanks

@VNKing714 There are three types of bulbs Green 83109-24040, Blue
83119-24570, Unknown 90099-53007. However once you have the unit out it
will provide greater direction. The colors reference the cap color..which
does not come with the bulb order. I replaced a few green ones..ordered
them even had the deal send a picture to verify everything. Guess what the
green one was smaller. I did take other bulbs and move them around and
found out it was the board. Check with LexTech dot com

The dealer is the only place I’ve got them from.
