I changed the 2, 5, 9, 11 ("high" voltage) capacitors, but needles remain dark. I understand that needles fault:

But now the clock and odometer backlight went out, both show the correct values but without lights, they can only be seen very close and very dim. Someone could help me which wires could have broken?

Information has been on club lexus since 2003. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc-...-clusters.html

....and where all subsequent information has came from. Spent months detailing every nut, bolt, and part in them for full understanding so no cliff notes. It’s there if you want to learn.
