Default Radio lights out & Power ECT light ...

So part of my radio lights are out .... how do I fix this ? Does whole radio have to be replaced including Navi ?

Also, I think the power ect light is starting to fail, it’s a different color than the other light .... how do I fix that ?


Thank you for for your input



Radio lights out

Is the power shade here suppose to be illuminated ?

Looks like power light is going out ... different color

For the radio button illumination - replace the radio. At least that's what the dealer did. They did not replace the NAV unit.
The sun shade button should be illuminated as well.

Ask the shop or Lexus to be extra careful when replacing the radio. I ended up going back to the dealer and asked my SA to buff it..

I remember watching a video or diy thread in which the guy removed the radio and replaced the leds or the complete radio

Changing the radio is a half way what about the center console buttons ?

I am trying to find the video or thread

I couldn't find the video or the thread but i did find this link where this company replaced the center console lights for some customer

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls-...-lighting.html

Replacing complete radio system is also not a reliable solution as you dont know how long the leds will run

Can someone please post a photo of your illuminated rear sunshade button from your 2007-2011 LS460 so I can show it to the incompetent people at Carmax, just in case they try and tell me the button should not be illuminated


Thank you!

Just noticed my left seat climate control light is not illuminated. I guess it's time to see my SA again before the warranty expires.

Thank you for the photo.

Do they repair the switches or they have to be replaced ?
