2003 Taurus Dash Lights

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has had to change any lights in their instrument panel. The bulb that lights up the fuel gauge has blown. I had a quick look under the dash yesterday and it looks near impossible to access the bulb.
Any advice would be great.
Thanks

My God! This was posted in January and has yet to be responded to. Someone please answer this question.

Well, go ahead an answer it then! If you don't know how to do it on a 2003, then apparently you're like several others on this forum.

If I had to venture a guess though, I'd say there are probably a couple of screws holding the lens cover/trim in place. If those screws were removed, that would yield access to more screws that hold the instrument cluster in place. Remove those and carefully wiggle the instrument cluster out far enough to disconnect the electrical connections, then remove the cluster. With the cluster out of the instrument panel the bulbs should be readily accessible.

But keep in mind, this is just a guess based on how several instrument clusters were assembled over the past several years. I would be very surprised if any of the bulbs were accessible with the cluster still in the car.

Found 3-bad bulbs, I replace all 5 in the instrument cluster with LED, see http://www.youtube.com (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evUp2-FGjek)
Search '' Ford Taurus instrument cluster removal''.

Also see www.superbrightleds.com (http://www.superbrightleds.com) for color LED cluster replacement, they use less power + heat.
