Just wondering if anybody have mess around the lighting on the gauge cluster?

Can you put LED lightbulbs in the back? What kind LED bulbs is it?
I was on Youtube the other day and i type in Aristo, there is a video of a 1st gen LED gauge.

My gauge lighting is flickering a bit......It's probably time.....

I've gone so far as to take my entire cluster apart and then i broke the speedo and tach so i had to buy another one =/

LED's for backlighting is completely possible and lextech.org offers the service. As for the needles, those are a bit more complicated... lextech will redo needles for the GS in red waterfalls (check the site) but that's about the only option I've found other than trying to do it yourself.

There was a guy on the Lexus Owners Club forum that said he had some instructions on how to do it yourself but I haven't been able to get a hold of him

I did my cluster over with Hi Flux LED's came out great as far as the needles i know that the sc neeldles can be used beacuse they are easier to change the color

I thought the needles out of the SC were shorter so they wouldn't work?

And you didn't happen to write a How-to on changing out those LED's did you?

does anyone know if lextech will fix the needles if I just them them that? It seems silly to send the entire cluster just to swap out the needles.

I think it's pretty clear on their website that they won't do that
