it is not hard to take the dash at all...
You (and me) are SOL about our needles... either try to get a used cluster from ebay or buy a new one from Lexus... that is way too much money....

Search lextech on the forums and you find several threads. Some of mine have pictures. The back lighting is easy. The needles need a bit more finess. Its well worth the 100bux.
