Dash Lights???

[lucaswhunter]

The right half of my dash lights on my 96 went out (speedo, gas guage and oil pressure). Are these on a seperate fuse, or is it the bulb? If its the bulb, how hard is it to chage, and does anyone know where I can get one?

TIA

There are 4 bulbs that illuminate the instrument cluster. It's about a 20-30 minute job to replace them. Remove the drivers knee bolster and the dash trim bezel. There should be four screws securing the cluster. Remove them and you can pull the cluster out a bit. The bulbs have green rubber covers on them. You may want to get colored bulbs and get rid of the covers.

with regards to the green rubber caps..technically, if you find different colored caps, you can change the color of you dash lights...right?

...or different colored bulbs all together....

I dont know if I would go with colored bulbs. I put red ones in my mitsu pickup and they are very dim. Looks cool but can be hard to see.

I have green bulbs instead of the coversyou can't even tell the difference. The light is actually more even acros the instrument cluster.
