ive done this several times with no problems.
pull the ecu fuse for 5 min
or
remove the negative terminal off the battery for 15 min.
plus you get the chance to drive like a bat outta hell(yes they drive lex) and the car tunes accordingly.
great writup, im enjoying my lextech cluster.
people pace me on the hwy to check it out. its funny.

CAN ANYONE DO ME A HUUUUUGE FAVOR?
Can they please list a simple supply list and part # with source for a total repair for my 1995 ES300 cluster lights?
I am really busy and cannot go through the entire thread and get them all myself. I am a very big amateur when it comes to car repairs and I just want all the part information and sources to get them so I can get my dad to fix it for me because he is much better at it than I will ever be.
Please help me, it would be VERY appreciated. This is basically the only problem I have with my car and I really want to set it right. It sounds easy enough but I AM AN IDIOT!!!
Thanks guys

Found a link from Windom Owners CLub.
(I had to do a Yahoo Babel Page translation)
It is a DIY for LED backlighting (the right way)

The dude used what looks like 50 leds all circuited together(I think). Looks kind of difficult and somewhat unnecessary if you just want to replace your old bulbs with leds.

the straps thing is great, assuming they are rated for the force. which of course, I'm SUREEEE they looked into.
thanks for link. my dash is like 85% of the messed up dashed on here, not super bad, but just right--> bad

What about replacing the bulbs with leds in your ash tray as well as shift console while your doing your cluster so everything matches? Any idea on the led part #'s for these? Also, whats with calibrating the needles once you put them back on if they have tabs so they go right back where they came from? Thanks!

Patience patience! Could be that no one has the answer, or they've been busy with other facets of their lives besides hanging around here all the time.
As far as LEDs for the ashtray and shift console are concerned, I haven't read anything about that idea on here. Why don't you be the first? Do the research, get the parts, and post the DIY.
Not sure what you mean by "tabs" for the needles.
