| (1) the problem is on the 1995 lexus, sc400. (2) the needles in the instrument cluster get blackened out; therefore, i totally can't see the speed that i was going. that is very dangerous because i can go faster than the safety limit without knowing it. also, the other instruments needles get darkened and don't show the current condition of the car such as the temperature, fuel, and rpm. (3) this problem happens in many lexus sc300, sc400, ls400 from the year of 1992 to 2000. i can prove it's the common safety failure for these cars with your instruction. i wish the problem could be repaired or replaced by lexus manufacturers. *nm | |||
