Headlight dashlight out

my headlight dashlight has been out for awhile and its finally starting to bother me...could it be a fuse that made it go out(and which fuse)? or is it actually that little light powering it? all other lights work even the fog dash light so please let me know

pretty sure it's a bunch of little lights back there.
You'll have to take the Cluster out and replace that particular bulb.
Hopefully the other guys will chime in and let ya know.
"DaFarmer" would know probably. send him a pm maybe.
good luck.

yeah, it's definitely one of the lights behind the cluster. mine went out this past weekend and i took out the cluster. i actually found that there is a bulb for keyless entry or something that is there and isn't being used so i took that out and put it in the spot where the headlight dash bulb was. it worked but then one of the bigger three lights went out randomly... so now i gotta go get a bulb for that. was thinking of doing LEDs but i'm not sure yet.

take ur foglight/acd/mirror control trim out. (( if u don't want to scratch it )) 2 screws for the cluster trim . lower ur steering wheel. take the trim out. 3 screws for the cluster . move it forward unplug the blue harness . pull it towards u and unplug the white harness from the cluster and then take the it.. remove the backing plate form the cluster 4 screws hold that in. and then u can access the bulbs for headlight. while u are in their replace the gauge light bulbs with led bulbs much for brighter .. i think it is 194 or 168 bulb i cant remember since i changed it with led . part # for led bulb was 194 but it replace all these number ( Replaces: 147 152 158 159 161 168 184 192 193 259 280 285 447 464 555 558 585 655 656 657 1250 1251 1252 2450 2652 2921 2825))

brighter in the way that the cluster looks more clear it doesn't have a dullness to it..
