Replacing dash indicator light bulbs
Well, yesterday I fixed the left taillight on the '84 and I tested the signals and they all work as well as the bright/dim function. However, the high beam indicator bulb and the right turn indicator bulbs are blown in the dash panel. How do I change them and what kind of bulb should I use??

How would I remove the cluster?? Is there some screws or something to look for to take the top section off? Is it just that row of indicators that comes out or the whole instrument panel?? If at all possible, could you post a diagram of the dashboard??? I appreciate the help.

Dude...just get in and start pulling screws. I pulled mine off of my 85 and there were only like 6 screws; 3 on top where the indidcator lights are and 3 on bottom; below the gauges.
It ain't that hard, lol. Do you need us to tell you how to remove your trailer hitch? or do you need a diagram? Haha!

I just want to make sure that nothing will fly out when I pull it off or lose anything or if it's one of those things that wants to be hard-headed to put back on.

Will the gauges stay in place?? Or will I have to support them while I'm changing bulbs??

They stay in place! The only thing that comes out is the trim and the 'glass'
