Thumbs down Dim Gauges

I know that I have seen it posted here before, but has anyone had any problems with their speedo, tach, and temp gauges looking dim. Did you take it to the dealer? What was the result? I am taking my car on Wednesday for service and the numbers on the LCD numbers on the radio are going out. Is something happening to my car???

It's the battery most likely. You should look into getting an Optima YellowTop Battery, which ought to solve the problem. The stock battery from Lexus is cheap as hell, so the gauges dim over time.

That's my assessment,
