You do realize that the digital dash is only for soarers and that the wire harness won't match. It can not not be spliced to work either. They are two completely different wireing systems in the cars. This is also why the Nav in the soarer will not work in a sc400

i didnt have my gps when my needles went black in my es. i could get by during the day, but at night...forget about it. the gps idea is solid, the 130S is one of the cheapest of the bunch but still solid. i read a sticky in lexus owners club about a mod to get red tips on your cluster when the needles burn out, anyone come across that?

UPDATE:!!!!!
Went to the junkyard couple weeks ago
broke apart a GS gauge cluster and jacked the needles (would have removed the cluster but it was tilted all the way up. i try not to break ****, one of you might need something!)
and now!

presto worko!
if it gets too hot then the rpm loses a light.
all my gauges were out of wack, now work
temp was always 1 bar too high
rpms were exactly 500 off(low)
speed was 5 to slow
and fuel was way to low (light would come on after the needle went past the "e"
check engine light... still on.

(95-96) SC needles are the same as (92-96) GS, yes. Problem is most of the GS needles are much older than the SC since the red GS needles went back to 92 and the Sc started red at 95. So, you're not likely to improve the situation much, or at least not for long. The red also burn at a lower voltage than the Amber so they are prone to overheat quicker with voltage spikes, since the Amber ride at a higher voltage they absorb the spike better. (and the Sc's........ Pwn you with spikes).
