Re: dash lights

if you're referring to the lights behind your instrument cluster, nope, its bulbs back there (had to change mine when I bought the car, most of the panel was out) - however, they are not standard bulbs, they are built into a housing that I have never seen in any parts store. Once you dismantle the back of your cluster, the bulbs twist out. I ended up getting some bulbs from a j/y. (I always carry a 9v battery and a harness to test bulbs). If you can separate the bulbs from the housing without cracking the glass, most of the bulbs are standard 194's and 161's). The real pain is getting the new bulb back in the housing, and getting the contacts bent correctly.
