Edit New update:

I changed the bulbs and now they are blue. See pics below.

test the bulbs. I would replace them with LED's anyways.

Im waiting on LEDs to come in the mail. Hopefully that works. In the mean time in gonna wire in a led light maybe i can get pass inspection till then. lol

chances are you pulled either a) the wrong bulbs from the car or b) they're burnt out as well, or c) you have a faulty cluster.
my bet is it's b) that's the problem

Update!!!!!

Got bulbs in from ebay and heres the results.





Now....what can I do about the Needles? I really dont want to fail MSI ( maryland state inspection) over the needles/. I failed already because of the bulbs. Now i replaced them and i need a remedy for the needles. I saw someone paint the tips with some kind of special paint but I need something thats common enough to find meaning source what I need from online or walmart, or radio shack etc etc. Thanks for looking guys.

why not get some needles off lextech? or some from another cluster? i'm sure there are a fair bit of those cars laying around. also, there's some people on ebay that offer services to repair them.

and either you got a bulb in backwards or burnt out, or they're crappy bulbs, cause it seems like a couple are burnt out :S

Probably just crappy bulbs.I also had one across from the #7 completley black and i turned it around and its now lite up. The dash markes on the rpm6 and 7 are out but the digits are lite up.
And i needed something to get me thru the inspection so maybe afterwards I'll get your bulbs because im sure the quality is better. And i couldnt wait lol. I looked on Lextech and didnt see the option for just needels.

really? it's been a while since i've been on lextech, mainly cause they don't make anything for aristo's, only GS300's, so i've had to look elsewhere.

your best bet tho is to look for a used cluster, or check out ebay, there are a number of listings for the needles, clusters, and a couple for the repair service for the GS300. but for the LS400 there are TONS of listings for repairs, so it might be worth a shot to message them and ask if they'll do a GS one, since it's mainly the same thing

I have some used ones you can get i live in arlington va if you need em they might have some burnt out spots on them but theyll get you passed inspection for now.

Can u tell me the type of bulb u used for the cluster i need to order a set for a friend of mine

I used t5 bulbs. You can google them and get a few pics.
