I had to recently replace my dash lights, and I used that article to do it. Very helpful. Do replace all of them while you have the panel out, and you'll need a tool to remove the radio.

on the newer ranger you dont need to waste money on the tool. There are 2 small bolt that take a 7mm socket and are just above the A/C panel. You take those out and pop the whole bexel off stereo and all, and just unplug all the wires. Even if you pull the stereo you still have to pull the bezel, so you basically skip a step and save $5. I always pull out my stereo this way on my truck, actually i have to now that i have an aftermarket one.
