The backlight bulbs? The ones I have read TOSHIBA V2. Call your dealer. There about $2.50 each.

Are the backlights or the pointers burned out, or both? Backlights should be an easy fix, pointers not so simple. For the pointers, check out this thread--you won't be the first one with this problem https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...threadid=78064

There are 9 backlight bulbs that light up the speedo and RPM numbers. I have attached a picture, obtained from a previous CL search, which shows all the operational light bulbs of a 1st-gen ES instrument cluster. Those backlight bulbs are circled in red. Other bulbs: warning & info lights = yellow, gear levels = blue.

Yes, I researched this a long time ago when I had my '96 ES around. The last time I checked, the Lexus P/N for those bulbs is 83119-24570, and they're priced at $4 to $6 each. You can call up the parts dept of your dealership and verify the P/N for the bulbs.

For some extra reading, I posted up an old thread detailing the difference between the instrument guage clusters of the 1st-gen ES and SC. Good luck.
