Fix a 1993 Lexus SC400 Dash Light Bulb Replacement

I'm changing it up this week and showing you how to replace a light bulb in my 1993 Lexus SC400. This is a simple project, however more difficult to get the correct bulb. The Lexus parts book is correct or wasn't for me. The bulb comes separate from the holder which in this case was green. There are black ones that are smaller bulbs and matched the size I received from Lexus. My suggestions is to order both then take what you don't need back. They are about $6.00. We don't have a Lexus dealer in town so for something to do I drove 75 miles each way to pick one up.

Hey I have a 92 sc400 and I just replaced the battery but now the headlights stay on when the switch is turned to off and there's a constant beeping coming from the inside of the car even with the doors closed/locked. Do you know how I can fix this? Thanks

@micahj89 That's a new one for me. sounds like either a fuse blew or when replacing the battery you have some how pinched a wire to the ground which now completes a circuit. Unplug the battery and pull it looking for any damage to the harness.

the needle lights for the gas gage and the speedometer went out (they are usually red). How do I fix that or is there a way to fix it?

@FeroshiaCourtora The problem is not the bulbs it's the neon in the gauges. .youtube.com/watch?v=zESeIRwHc­f0 take a look at this video on how to replace the gauges; however it may be a cheaper endeavor to send it off to lextech and have them rebuild the neon instead of replacing the gauges. Good luck

@Metalunique mine is doing really well. I put in new radiator, it complains when you don't put in premium. Just listen to what it wants. always check the oil. simple little things keep it going. it is the best car I have ever had.

@FeroshiaCourtora I hear ya. I'm fascinated by them too. In fact, I'm in the market for one right now. I'll post my find.. Let me know how your makin' out with yours.

@Metalunique I love this car so much! I have a 92 SC 400

@FeroshiaCourtora How you like it? I think they're one of the most bitchin' rides ever made.

The Lexus coup, be the 300 or 400, are the most beautifulest cars, outside of Jaguars, ever made. I'm currently on the market for one as the Coup has always been my dream car. I think I'm going to lean towards the 400. No sense on getting the 300 just to gain a few extra miles on gas...I know that these coups are notorious for bad power str. pumps, which in turn, leak fluid into the alt. killing it as well. How hard is this job. Do you have anything on this? What about the starter? great videos!

Excellent instructions.

@jaydobem The good thing about Lexus is things are pretty easy to get to. Under the hood I believe on the right side of the car is the fuse box. Just pen it up and the diagram should tell you which fuse is which. If not the manual in the glove box will. Sorry I can't be more specific. I'm no where near the car right now.
