Default HELP! My Instrument CLUSTER Looks Like THiS!.....2SLow, anyone!

So my excuse for speeding is I honestly have no idea how fast Im going, since I can't see my needles. After researching I figured that there is only one person who can help me, 2SLOW (I beg of thee)....... So there are 4 LEDS per needle and I have no idea what type how to install etc. etc........

Options: Replace instrument cluster.....great idea but my extended warranty is the gold package which doesn't include the cluster...........

Buy a used cluster, great idea, but these clusters are one time programmers and only lexus techs can do it, so whatever mileage the wrecked cars cluster had, i would now have.....no to bad of an idea since I'm out of warranty.......on second thought bad idea they have my real mileage on file just about everywhere..........

Take it to the cluster specialty shop whom will replace the needles for $260...........but what if they dont use the same needles etc... etc...

Help Me, 2Slow or any other LED techs........Cluster Techs...........

Default led's

2Slow replaced all my led's in my car, but not in the cluster. I don't think he can replace these even at this time. He may chime in, but good luck with your problem.

Btw, all ur Info is in ur ecu, mileage and such r all stored in ur ecu cuz u can roll back ur obo just by switching a cluster out, I took out my cluster to get it painted and the ecu recorded the miles that I put on the car without the cluster on, worst case u can buy a used cluster for 200 on ebay
