“I would just like to say that the info instrument panel in my Lexus does not light up satisfactory to see when there's daybreak. I think this is a safety hazard when you can't see the numbers because of the sunshine. I think this is a safety issue that should be addressed by Lexus anytime you can move the instrument cluster info and you cannot read the numbers then there is a problem. I haven't seen where many people have complained about it, but I do know that mine is not the only one that has this problem. Thank you.”Owner report · Unknown Or Other · Jan 2026
