dash lights-tachometer

My tachometer dash lights went out.....not all of them, just at the tach.
What do I need to do to replace these blubs? Remove the whole dash....I hope not.
thanks

you need to pull the gage cluster, and take it apart and you can get right to the bulbs. Its not to bad a job about an hour to tear it apart and put it back. if you need help always look into a repair manuel. good luck

Replace every single one of them if you do this, once they start going out they all will fairly quickly.

Gage cluster?
Is that just around the steering wheel area?
I don't have to pull the dash do I?

You pull the cluster full of gauges out but will need to remove some trim pieces around it. Personally I paid the dealer to do mine, it was around $100. Wasn't worth my time and aggravation to do it myself.

This is exactly where you need to go, it has pics and everything. The first time it may take you an hour, but after that, 15-20 mins.
