| My instrument cluster lighting does not illuminate when the car is started, but sometimes will come on after several minutes. the problem has just recently started, but seems to be getting worse (taking longer for the lights to come on if at all). no steps have been taken yet to repair, but given the severity of the impact, safety concerns will probably force me to pay a significant service bill at the dealer soon. when i drive at night, the entire instrument cluster and center console is dark. even during full daylight, i can not tell how fast i am going, the fuel level, etc. the lexus club forum indicates that many others have experienced the same problem and have registered complaints with both lexus and this site. *tr | |||
