hey

i have a problem with the Instrument Panel, i cant see nothing, i think the backlights are all burned out
does any one know what size are the bulbs for the panel, i know few are Size 76 but theres other onez lil bigger onez then size 76. someone help please, tell me how many bulbs are needed and what size, thank you

 

The backlight bulbs? The ones I have read TOSHIBA V2. Call your dealer. There about $2.50 each.

 

Are the backlights or the pointers burned out, or both? Backlights should be an easy fix, pointers not so simple. For the pointers, check out this thread--you won't be the first one with this problem https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...threadid=78064

 

how many bulbs are in the Instrument panel, im having a hard time finding out what the other size is,
i try puttin 194 size bulbs in and they are too bigg, some are size 74, those i brought new oncez,
but i still need the other onez with the blue rubbers on em, well on few one em,
so please does anyone know the other size thank you

 

There are 9 backlight bulbs that light up the speedo and RPM numbers. I have attached a picture, obtained from a previous CL search, which shows all the operational light bulbs of a 1st-gen ES instrument cluster. Those backlight bulbs are circled in red. Other bulbs: warning & info lights = yellow, gear levels = blue.

 

you know what size are those bulbs that light up the speedo and RPM numbers

 

Yes, I researched this a long time ago when I had my '96 ES around. The last time I checked, the Lexus P/N for those bulbs is 83119-24570, and they're priced at $4 to $6 each. You can call up the parts dept of your dealership and verify the P/N for the bulbs.

For some extra reading, I posted up an old thread detailing the difference between the instrument guage clusters of the 1st-gen ES and SC. Good luck.
