Hello all, Its is around 2 degrees in Canton Michigan, and I have two lights in the instrument cluster that stopped working within the last several months, no they did not go out at the same time. My question is, how do I get to the bulbs, and is it worth doing myself?? THANKS, -Motoman
You can do it yourself but you won't like it if you have to work outside. It requires removal of the radio bezel, knee bolster panel/trim and cluster surround. Then you can unbolt/unplug the instrument cluster and replace the bulbs on the back.
Do yourself a favor and replace all 6 bulbs. If not, you will be pulling it apart again soon to replace some of the others. The originals are 194 but I would use 194LL (LL=long life).
This How-to has pictures that will help with the removal of the cluster: Dead Link Removed
