after a few miles one or the other will work or both
kick in.my car is a 1993ls400 i have only had it for
three weeks(fantastic car)is this a big problem?any
one help with this problem?

Answer
Common fault with this car.The dash can be repaired and i have had to send  clocks away to a shop in Sacramento and have them rebuilt which cost $100.The dash on your car probably is exactly the same.The circuit shorts out and the illumination stops working.
