My dashboard lights started to go out on my lexus ls400. Initially the lights would not turn on while the weather was cold and after a few months the lights would not turn on at all. I have seen similar complaints on the internet and wonder why there has not been a recall yet. This has to be a safety hazard, not knowing your speed and also not knowing how much gas you have seems to be a problem.

Recurring problem with the 1994 lexus ls 400. When outside temperature dropped below 50 degrees fahrenheit the instrument panel lights and gauges ceased operating for a period of 15 to 30 minutes , until the engine and /or interior temperature warmed sufficiently. Lexus dealership quoted $1200 to repair an obvious manufacturing defect. This was apparently a very widespread problem. Can vbe erified by googling lexus intrument cluster repair and refer to the clublexus web site.
