I found one thread in FTE regarding replacing instrument cluster bulbs but the solution was to contact Circuit Board Medics. Has anyone attempted to do this themselves? I have one dark area on the right side of the tach and another dark area on the left side of the speedo. Probably the same bulb that's out.

Also, have anyone attempted to replace the bulbs (assuming its a bulb and not a fiber optic of some sort) in the steering wheel volume and fan controls?

Thanks for your help

 

You need to give us a little more information in order to really give you a better answer. Year, model of your vehicle, engine etc will really help. We dont know if your talking about a 2012 or a 1912 auto or if it is truck van car tractor etc...

 

Thanks for that tip Pocketlint. I'm new to the world of forums and I'm learning.

Is it best to start that thread over again, with my vehicle details, so that others will see it? Or will people see my reply to you and, hopefully, offer a possible solution?

Thanks again.

If you're just replacing the bulbs and not trying to upgrade to LED lighting, then you can pop the existing bulbs out of the sockets and replace them with E74 bulbs. I'd recommend replacing all of them while the cluster is out so that you're not doing this again too soon. Let us know if you need anything else.
