INSTRUMENT CLUSTER OF MY 2001 MERCEDES BENZ CLK430 IS FAULTY. I CANNOT READ THE GEAR INDICATOR SINCE THE LED LIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT. NOT KNOWING WHAT GEAR I AM IN CAN CAUSE AN ERROR WHILE DRIVING THAT CAN LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WAS WORKING FINE UNTIL A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO WHERE LED STARTED TO FAIL. GEAR INDICATOR IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IS NO LONGER READABLE. THIS IS A DRIVING SAFETY ISSUE. *JB
