    How does one go about replacing the dash bulbs? I think some of my lights are out because they don't go on when the key is in pos 2 (just before firing the car up).

    Also -- just to confirm, which ones should go on for testing just before starting the car? I thought all Slow Down, CEL, ABS, Brake, and Battery - is that all?

    355?

    To access the bulbs, you need to remove the instrument cluster which has only 2 screws on the bottom, on each side of the steering wheel, in the part line between the upper and lower section of the dash.

    You might be able to change them without taking the cluster out, but disconnection the cluster and removing it from the car will make it much easier

    Did you ever find out how to remove the dash bulbs? I have my dash down getting recovered so, I thought "While im in there" I would take the opportunity to replace my bulbs with blue ones like another fchatter did. (REALLY COOL LOOKING BTW)...thanks...

    It would be great to have a list of the bulbs and sizes to replace these with LEDs and a source for the LEDs. Maybe even a kit from some LED supplier for the whole dashboard lights replacements.

    Hi as you can see we have a another question. What size and where did you get your dash bulbs.I posted a list from JEVS. I have a question also. I tested all my bulbs and one was out in the main cluster (speedometer) if one bulb is faulty will it cause failure to the rest of the bulbs on the circuit? Thanks
