How many people have Dash Needles that don't work ?
How many have needles that don't work AT ALL? How many have some that just half work? How many have needles that just work when they want to? Would like to see a show of hands. I know we have been through this on a technical nature, but i want to know how many people, if you would please.

Dash needles
I have a '95 LS 400 and my speedometer needle works about 70% of the time. The light stays on, everything looks fine but the needle stays at 0. If I turn the ignition off and then back on again it will usually start working. The dealer wants $350.00 for a new gauge. I think I'll wait for now.
but other than that, everythings fine.

On my 93 sc400 the tach needle is half lit and the other half flickers when it wants to, dealer says about $550 for new cluster.

My needles are still going strong at 104k (don't keep them on full intensity), but the majority of probs I have seen where just a couple lights are out, not all of them.

dash needles
I have a 92 sc300. The only needle I have a problem with right now is my temperatre gauge. It starts out bright but after about 20 minutes the middle of the needle starts to flicker than it goes out most of the time.

107K, they all still work, I keep waiting for the inevitable - - I hear of so many with the problem, why hasn't it happened to my 10-year-old car? tgg, I see your car is the same year as mine.
Are the '93s blessed by the Diode God? Or what?

The needles on my gas gauge and spedo sometimes flicker or go off for a while. It is extremely dependent upon how hot it is. Justin talks about the temp issues on his website at lexusdash.com. I have been waiting for a long time to place an order there and am a little frustrated with the slow progess. This has been a teaser for a few months now. The prices seem a bit on the high side, but I would really like to convert my needles to blue.
