Instrument lights

The left side of my instrument cluster just went dark. Anybody know how to fix it?

I assume you need to get to the back of the cluster, and hopefully there are replaceable bulbs?

Thanks in advance,

Never pulled mine to check, but i know that most other vehicles are replaceable bulbs. do them all while your in there to prevent having to pull it back out anytime soon

They are replaceable bulbs. If I remember correctly, there are 5 or 6. Pull dash cover, unscrew 4 8mm or 9mm screws and remove. sqweeze shifter position display pins and remove. Unclip wire harnesses and the whole thang is in your hand. I'm sure there are a few steps missed, however it is really simple. Just time consuming.
