Most likely your bulbs are burned out. You need to take your cluster out (with tools you can buy from the dealer) and change those bulbs.

did you try the old lexus technique of wacking it on the top. usually they are just loose

Swapping the cluster out is pretty quick, I find it much easier to go at it through the bottom and push from behind. Make sure you have your steering wheel all the way out

thanks for your replies,I will try whacking first.

I understand getting to the bulbs arent easy ?

some of my bulbs have gone dark before, a good whack a couple of times usually solves the problem. lol

[kaiserh]

where exactly I whack ?

[lamf]

top of dash which side the lights are off.

I had some work done,and almost all of the missing half came back on its own,
car has bigger issues now.:D

[kaiserh]
