Backlighting on instrument panel...
 

The backlighting on my instrument cluster is dim behind the 10mph area and bright everywhere else. There is a light bulb or LED burned out. On most cars you can just replace a bulb back there. Is this possible on the GX470?

I can not find the part number anywhere.

I have the same issue and the dealer told me you have to replace the whole instrument panel to the tune of about $900 (if i remember correctly). I have just gotten used to it.

This is a bit hard to believe. I will check in the service manual later to confirm, but i am willing to bet that there must be bulb/LED that can be replaced. How can Lexus expect owners to pay $900 because of simple lighting problem. I've had Audi's and worked on BMWs before and they are famous for dashboard lighting issues, yet the fix was usually simple and cheap - replace the bulb(s).
I'll be shocked if Lexus is an exception.

I finally got around to taking out the dash, and it is true, our instrument cluster is backlit by LED's and we are unable to replace just one of them.

That's a real bummer. I have the same problem and this is the first post actually stating that. Thanks for the info. If you find a fix, please post!

We repair all GX and LX clusters and can repair any lighting issues you have with them. Please shoot me a PM for pricing.

Wow. This just happened to me within the last week also. Exact same area.

What a bummer. Now I need to decide if I can live with it or not...

Well as I am EE i can replaced one by one just use solder. If you can post a picture i can tell if that possible or not. Try to chat to electronic tech / eng. I will not pay $900 for the new one, it is totally BS

We do full rebuilds for $199 and partial rebuilds for $99.

Both prices include return shipping and repair time is generally 1 day.
