I HAVE READ THAT YOU CAN EITHER GET GAUGES FROM A JUNKYARD, OR I THINK THERE MIGHT BE SOMEONE SOMEWHERE THAT REPAIRS THEM. Or just drive with the flow of traffic. Relax - it only costs around $600 to get it fixed - needs the whole speedometer insert. Is a well known problem of Lexus. > the speedo needle is not lit on my 92 ES 300.

Here is one, and a search will turn up others: http://www.dashusa.com/japanese_imports.htm - Mark >> the speedo needle is not lit on my 92 ES 300.

Get access to the needles. For me, this is the hard part. 2. Very carefully and delicately, paint the needles themselves with a paint that glows in the dark. You may as well do this on all the needles since they will all go dark eventually. Why won't this work? > the speedo needle is not lit on my 92 ES 300.
