Re: warning lights

sorry, i guess i could ellaborate a little. what you have to do is take the two plillips screws out in the drivers kick panel, and let it hang. Set the parking brake, put the gearshift (it its on the column) all the way down into 1st, you may need to turn the key to on. then gently but firmly start at the bottom of the trim and start pulling out. it should all pop out fairly hard, and you should end over by the radio. this is where yo first start to put it back on. You may need to do some tilting with the steering wheel to get it out, but it does come. I have never taken out the IP cluster in my car.... yet, but i assume its just held down by some (maybe 4) bolts, then the whole unit chouls just come out, and he bulbs are accessed from behind. Maybe instead of going to GM to get the bulbs, try a hardware store or radio shack first, as they might be cheaper and last longer. Even though they might be a couple bucks a bulb, I would recommend replacing all the bulbs at one time, as they are rated for 2000 hours i believe, and one one burns out, the rest aren't short to follow. Reassemble in the reverse order, and you should be good to go. While your there if you want to swap in an aftermarket cd player, now would be the time. 2 bolts and a couple plugs. Any more questions, let me know.
