Dash lights out

The lights on the left side of my dash (back-light for fuel & oil pressure) aren't working. Is there a separate fuse for these gauges or is it a bulb? If it's a bulb how to I get to it to change it?

Thanks.

No separate fuse, they all have one fuse. I am not sure what you are working on, but most all years you have to pull the cluster out the front to change them. Some trucks you have to pull the ***** off the wipers and headlight switch and start there, working your way in. You have to usually fight the speedo cable also to pull the cluster out enough to get to the bulbs.

Yeah, guess it would have helped if I'd given what I'm working on! It's a 2007 F250 PSD CC LB FX4.

they are correct, on the 1992-1996 style,you have to take light switch handle off,using something flat and tiny.

next,take out the black screws in the gear selector, if it is an auto. Makes it easier that way.....

next, remove the black star headed screws and tilt the cluster top towards you, the rest will follow easily.

last,the bulb is in a black plastic piece you twist and it pops out....

now reverse these steps you shoul not have too many probs...i have a writeup on it in the dressup section.
