Dash Wiring Problems of Lexus ES300

In certain light conditions instrument panel gauges are impossible to see.

Light on dashboard panel, and cannot see reading of speed. Control panel will not set because speed reading cannot be read due the light.

Optitron instrumentation: not easy to read in broad daylight. When driving, it's important to keep your eyes on the road. Under normal daylight conditions, instrument readings are virtually invisible. Current speed necessary to set cruise control. Poor design: at night, or under low ambient light conditions (dusk, heavy shade, rain, etc. ) instrument lighting is exceptional: all elements of the instrument cluster are very clear, very visible. Under normal daylight conditions (with sun overhead - not shining directly on the panel) the illumination level within the cluster is insufficient to provide easy visibility. (staring intently will yield results - a definite safety issue in a moving vehicle. ) in order to set the cruise control, it is necessary to know exactly what speed the vehicle is very difficult to see in broad daylight. (the maufacturer advertises their optitron instrumentation as "illuminated for faster and easier reading". ).

Instrument gauge indicators are unable to read while driving during day light hours. Dealer notified. Feel free to provide any further information.

Lights to read speed odometer and gas, are hard to read, causing consumer to only see in dark areas, and not during day time.

Instrument cluster gauges have red needles against a black background which are difficult to see in daylight conditions, especially in full sunlight and are impossibe to see wearing sun glasses. This, in my opinion, constitutes a safety hazard, being unable to read the gages, especially the speed.
