Guage cluster needles itself cannot be replaced you have to replace the whole guage, servo assembly, or have someone like Jim Walker re coat the needle. It is cold cathode technology and cannot be easly repaired, I even checked out a neon shop to see if they could re paint the conductive paint back on but the needle is to small and delicate for them to repair. Jim does great work and he is reasonable Search the forums for JIM WALKER. if you need contact info i have his number

Those are LS needles but i would not take them because its a 91 and after 150000 miles the are no good. here is a pic of our needle,servo assembly.I think the 90- 92 are not compadible, Jim and I discussed this because I had a 90 cluster and when my 93 needles went out either the voltage was different or it was reverse polarity I cant remember why 90 would not work. On repos I got my ***** busted a few months back on this forum go to colorado lexus club and we can discuss finding you a vehicle!
