Dash light question
I have a 1997 F350 and the left hand side of my dash lights have quit working, is there bulbs that can be replaced or is it all intergraded?
I looked under the dash but you can't see a darn thing from underneath. Is there anything special I need to know about removing the plastic trim around the dash or does it just unsnap?

Are you talking about the lights in the instrument cluster?
If so you need to remove the cluster to get at the bulbs on the back. Remove the headlight switch, remove the trim that runs along the front of the dash and you can remove the torx screws that hold the fascia on. After you (carefully) pry it off, you'll see the screws holding the cluster in place.
Pull the cluster forward, remove the two harnesses and the bulb sockets just half twist out.
