Hi Mike, all of those work fine. Its just the centre console stuff- climate, stereo, clock- theres no blue ambience lighting so its super dark

is there a feature called night mode on the IS

so when it goes dark  the un necessary lights are turn off

Never heard of this... But I tried it last night... and...nothing. Same problem. Complete darkness inside except for when I have a fan on. When a fan is on the light for it turns on but the backlight still isnt on.

Not silly at all mate. I checked this and it only changes the light settings on the speedometer panel behind the steering wheel (not sure the actual name)

If a mechanic has checked it, this may be a silly suggestion but is the panel light dimmer control turned right down?

Hi all,

New here and new to the lexus gang. Bought an IS300h recently and its beautiful- absolutely love it. Only thing is barely any of my interior lights on the centre console work! The actual panels work i.e. air con, stereo etc but as soon as the car detects its night time and headlights switch on- the mini AC screen goes black and nothing inside lights up. When I say nothing inside I mean specifically:

1. Clock has no backlight so impossible to read at night but the clock works in telling time

2. The AC panel (with the hazard button) function fine but again, no blue illumination behind it. When the day lights are on the small climate control screen turns on but when its night, it goes black?!

3. The cd player doesnt illuminate either

The window buttons are illuminated and even the USB ports inside the elbow rest illuminate but the main centre console doesnt?! Got a mechanic to check all fuses- everything's fine. Double checked the issue by covering the Any ideas what this could be? I'd rather avoid going to lexus for the £192 fault finding cost.

TIA
