Default Tutorial: DIY Gauge Cluster LED Needle fix

Since The GS300, ES300,SC300/SC400 all share the same issue with the gauge cluster led needle failures, I figured the tutorial I wrote on the GS300 (jzs147) 1st gen would help. I listed 2- different methods, pictures of the results, and also a youtube video to show step by step how to do the difficult method.

Please view the link below for the results. I hope this helps the Lexus fam.

Very informative DIY video. even though I'm an Electrical Engineer, this is something that I would never attempt myself. I know my limits and when it comes to delicate work, I have two left hands.

I own a 3rd generation ES, so luckily I won't have to deal with this common problem. I'm sure however that your video will help other brave souls.

Nice work.
