Do a search. There isn't a quick fix to it. Mainly you either need to send it off to get replaced, lextech is my suggestion, they specialize in lexus lighting. Or you need to try to find some used ones. For the transmission, I wish you luck. It can be done if you have the knowledge, skill, and money. You can easily find a W58 trans for maybe $500, the hard part since you have the 1UFZE is that you need a special adapter plate, and alot of other additional parts. A SC300 swap is much easier. Do a search on both, there already exists some great threads on both topics.

Nope. But you can simply send LexTech your cluster and they will set you up with any color you want. PM O.L.T.
