Default got gs3

I finally had my first lexus today... i was 99.9 sure i wanted an ls400 until from out of the blue this 94 gs300 changed things around... loved it...! Only thing not working is the power antenna and the tach& speedo needle not iluminating or light up?? Can somebody give me advice how to fix this please.. remote keys are broken.. can it be repaired? Where do i get a new one? Also it came with 18 inch bling bling donz wheels.. dont like it.. open for trades.. thanks

Welcome to the GS fam. Please don't bother with the power antenna, just goto Autozone and pick up an amplified antenna. As for the cluster needle. You will need to replace them, check Ebay they are always being sold there.

There's also a member here called O.L.T. and he runs Lextech Lighting. They do needles and the cluster backlight. I know all of the cheap **** on eBay is cheaper, but O.L.T.'s work is excellent. I am 2 months away from the three year mark with his handiwork and it all still works and looks great.

Lextasy.Com has colored needles......they look way clean! I'd stay away from eBay stuff cheap & sometimes you get what you pay for

As long as it sounds like your power antenna is working, just buy the mast. They are less then $20 including shipping. This place has the info on how to install http://www.antennamastsrus.com/Lexus...01993-1997.htm
