Removing guage cluster
I searched and didn't come up with any great writeups on this. How do you remove the entire guage cluster so i can play with the lights. It is a 96 SC300. Thanks for the help

I searched "cluster removing" in the SC3/400 forum and came across several. They may not be "great" but certainly adequate for the task.
This one worked for me:

Tutorial on Removal of Instrument Cluster
Here's a tutorial I found very useful for removing the instrument cluster. It includes several photos.
http://www.lexuspros.com/tutorial7.htm
The hardest part was the first step. It was very difficult to get a good grip on the dimmer console. I eventually had to gently pry it out a bit with a screwdriver, while trying hard to not leave any visible dings.
Also, take care not to drop any of the four screws holding the instrument panel, like I did. Never found that sucker, either.
Good luck!
