Default gauges

Does anyone know where to find replacement gauges for the SC400 because mine only half light up and it's hard to see the numbers or the hands on the gauges.

The dealership. Dont expect it to be a cheap fix either. Its very expensive and a very common problem so either dish out the money or ignore the problem. You can try turning down the brightness and see if that helps. There are a few places working on this problem but who knows what going on with it. One place is lexusdash.com and they have a complete replacement and another was some place in CA where they will replace just the neddle I believe.

Where in FL are you? If your anywhere near central FL check out the up coming meet in march...

You could always upgrade with aftermarket gauges and retrofit them into the OEM dash. It's difficult and requires patience, but the results are worth it. I like these gauges:

Here's what the conversion of a boost gauge looks like on an MR-2:
