dash light problem + wheel bearing

hey guys im having a problem, first one is that my light in my guage cluster is out i think. the left side of the cluster works fine and is nice and brights but the right side (with gas and temp and ' lancer ) is dark all the time. does anyone know if they are led's or lights or what i need to do to fix it? and if i had to pull out the guage cluster is it really hard to do?

my next question/request is does anyone have a wheel bearing for the driver side rear?? or know where i can get one and for how much?. thx

- shane

They are bulbs with a cover on them. I had the same one go out. I replaced all three of them at once. It wasn't to bad to replace them. You remove the trim around the dash and them a few screws if I remember correctly. The hard part is getting the dash turned just right so it comes out of the opening. After that it is a piece of cake just unplug the two wire harnesses and twist the bulbs to remove them.

It is hard to describe. It is small capsle shaped with a colored plastic boot on it and the has plastic end that you use for turning the bulb to loosen or tighten the bulb. I never seen anything like in any autoparts stores. I just got mine at the dealer.

Simple:

Call your closest dealer, order (3) #MR444537. I paid $2.40/each. Have them shipped to your house, when you get them, if you want, pull the blue condom/cover off of the bulbs before you install them into the cluster. The dash bulbs will glow that much brighter, and it will look like it was suppose to in the first place. I did this a whiel ago and love it. From start to finish, it took me about 12 minutes to change the 3 main instrument cluster bulbs.
Hope this helped

not that bad when you pop out the left trim panel. holds the mirror adjustment button and the fog light button.
