Change dash gauge lights

One side of my gauges the light went out and now the only light that works is the one on the left behind the spedometer. Anyone know how to change the bulbs in the guauge cluster?

Thanks
Luke

I just did this myself. It's really easy. There are 2 bolts underneath the top of the shroud around the cluster. Remove them, and carefully pull the shroud out. Behind that is the cluster itself held on by 4 bolts, 2 on top and 2 on the bottom. Take those out. The hardest part is carefully working the cluster out to a point where you can remove the harnesses. There's 2 of them. Just remove them like any standard automotive harness and push the button thing until they will slide off freely. On the back of the cluster you can see the bulb holders. They're black and grey. Twist them and pull them out. Replace them as necessary. I ordered the bulbs from the dealer because noone had anything similar in stock. Can't remember the part number off the top of my head, but they were cheap. The whole job shouldn't take more than half an hour tops.

This is where I get all my OEM parts normally. I know most of the people that work there and they're very reputable.

The part # search doesn't work right yet, but it looks like the bulbs are in the instrument panel section.

Is the stock Oem bulb that's behind the odometer white? Trying to get mine replaced under warranty, and long story short they were giving me the run around.

The odometer is an LED display. I didn't think it had a light.
