Speedometer Needles Dead, Anyone Fixed?

if you have the electrical know-how, you could attempt to fix it yourself, but i think it's safe to say that the majority of us still have semi-dead to dead speedo needles . the other option is to buy the whole speedo/tach assembly for $300-$400 from the dealer because they do not sell "just" the needles .

do a search for a company called lexusdash, or something like that, they will fix. When I noticed a 1cm tip of one of my gauges going, I took it to the dealer and had it fixed, imagine that on a 7yr old car!!

Yeah the same thing here. during the day my speedo blinks some, but at night its fully lite up. I have heard it cost about 3 to 4 hundred to fix, but until it goes all the way out i will deal with it.

here's the info
You can give this a try. I think this is the solution but as of yet my needles have not failed so I can't say for sure if it works.
