Replace Dash lights 98 Mountaineer

I am slowing having the lights burn out in our 98 Mountaineer. Anyone ever replace them?

I assume you have to take the dash apart?

Well did the job today, One of the easist dashes I have ever taken apart. I replaced them all while I was there.

Went so far as to take it down apart and wiped all the dials and stuff clean again too.

Thanks again for the link.

Thanks, I will be in the dash again shortly...the cable that works the gear shift indicator just broke and I didn't know it before hand.

Broke down at the selector, plastic piece so I assume the whole cable will have to be replaced.
