Remove the dash and remove the instrument cluster, the lights are in the back of the cluster.
To fix a dim instrument cluster and non-functioning indicators on a 1993 Lexus SC 400, start by checking the fuse related to the dashboard lights, as a blown fuse could be the culprit. If the fuse is intact, inspect the dimmer switch for proper operation, as it may be malfunctioning. Additionally, consider replacing the bulbs behind the instrument cluster if they are burnt out. If these steps do not resolve the issue, it may be necessary to examine the wiring or the cluster itself for further electrical problems.
You Will Have To Take To A Dealer. Best Of Luck

To access the instrument lights on an '83 El Camino, you need to remove the instrument cluster. Start by disconnecting the negative battery cable for safety. Then, unscrew the trim bezel around the dashboard, followed by removing the screws securing the instrument cluster itself. Once it's free, you can access the bulbs for the instrument lights and replace them as needed.
The instrument cluster lights have their own fuse. It's a 5 amp at the bottom center of the fuse block. When the lights are on, the radio draws lamp power from the instrument cluster. This allows you to dim the brightness of the radio display with the other internal lamps.
