Hi,
My 2000 ES300 instrument cluster bulbs went out. Is there a DIY to replace all the bulbs behind the cluster ?
Thanks,
Ching-Ho Cheng

Update...
I double checked the cluster last night, the bulbs were not out but very dim. It was very hard to see so it felt like all bulbs were out. Also the light behind the shifter was really "out". Any idea to fix this dim cluster bulbs issue and how to replace the bulb behind the shifter ?
TIA.

If you are talking about the lbulb that lights up PRND2 I just changed mine to a super bright LED. Pretty simple though, take off your heated seat switches (if applicable) and disconnect, take a flat head screw driver and pop off all four corners of the wooded surround. Then, there is a black cover (the one that displays PRND2) it has four pins around it pop those off and you will see the bulb. I would highly recommend getting a white LED as it looks 100X better. It is a #74 led, similar to the 194 LED but a miniature version. As far as the cluster, no clue yet. That is next weeks project. Good Luck.
