Hi 

I've been doing some searching without any success. My 95 LS400 has failed cd player illumination bulbs. The unit itself is functioning correctly. I managed to find some information about a repair procedure but all the links are dead. Has anyone got the document?.

 

Thanks

Arrrr...now I understand.

By any chance are all the lights out on the climate control buttons as well? If so this is a known fault within the head unit caused by dry solder joints on a couple of components.

Hi Steve 

The climate controlled unit is working perfectly and it's well illuminated. Just the illumination on the stereo, I would assume the bulbs have failed ? Just be nice to have a how to guide if there is one avaible

 

Thanks for repsonce

This is a known fault on these head units -  mine does it but they come on as the interior warms up.

The bulbs rarely fail, and only ever the odd one, so if none work it is the supply - which is usually the capacitors as mentioned above.

There are tutorials on youtube and Lexus websites about it, but you have to be a confident at soldering - getting the unit out is not a big job.

There are also firms that offer a repair service.

Just to add, 

There is a Wheeler Dealers episode you can likely find on YouTube of an LS400 where the display was refreshed using a kit.

Worth a viewing regardless.
