Default Bulbs for Gauge Cluster

I have a LS400, 1993, can anyone tell me what type of bulbs I need for my gauge cluster?
I noticed there are two different bulbs.

Thanks for your help.

Bulbs? You mean like the big round tubular ones? Or as Toyota calls them: Cathode tubes?

Default Bulbs

The bulbs that tell you what gear your in. They have two wires sticking out of one end.

If you do not have an owners manual they are available for free from Lexus Corporate.Call 1-800-255-3987.While there give them your VIN number and ask if there are any open recalls or service campaigns.Sewell Lexus is also very helpful and can give you the exact part number for your bulb,1-877-523-3311.Good luck.

Can you snap a photo of the bulb in question and post it?

I don't know if the LS400 PRNDL bulbs are the same as older Toyota products, but some of the older cars had the bulbs which were simply the smaller ones with the two bendable leads that came off of them. The leads were wrapped around these little plastic sockets which then plugged into the dash circuit board.

The burned out bulbs could have their leads unwinded from the little sockets, and you could simply replace them with a similar 12v bulb from radio shack, which would run just a hair over a buck.
