How do I access the dash bulbs. Looks like (3) may be burned out. Once I remove the right and left pods, do I still have to take off the clear facing?

To access the instrument panel lights, the instrument cluster will have to be removed first.
That's according to my Haynes Repair Manual and the task is not simple
and be watchful of the air bag connections especially before attempting any replacements.
Good luck.

you have to pull the light switches on the left and pull out the heater pannel and ther are 2 nuts on each side and its a bitch and your bulbs are 7 dollars a bulb all of mine were burnt out DONT get them from he dealership go to a junk yard be very carefull putting the gages back in the ribben that the contacts are on is very fragile
