U gots to take out the console first man.

screw behind the vents

dimmer

coin box

under the radio

ashtray

around the cluster

and then take out the meter, unscrew it.

easy. 15 minutes tops

when your taking the screws out of the vents make sure to close the vents so you dont drop any screws

and make sure you buy the correct bulb size

also if you have a magnetized screw driver that helps alot too

i took them out and all 3 bigger ones are BURNT
i had to peel the blue coating off of it but there are seriously BLACK on the top and sides

those are the ones for the needle right?

the Three in the back

[King James]

no its the two up top I believe

[blizzard335]

no its the two up top I believe

yeah

the ones that 'light' up the needles are the one on top.

the 3 big ones light up the cluster.

i changed the 3 bigger ones to amber bulbs, so i get that warm amber glow.

and peeled the blue 'condoms' off the other bulbs.

[cvc7chris]

the two on top ?

i didn't see any one TOP like of the cluster

i meants on the BACK!

ya need pics?

[cvc7chris]

here's the back


and the top
and i don't see any bulbs on top


i thought the 3 lighted the needles

idk

[blizzard335]

look at the top of the dome on the cluster

at the white plastic part, viewed from the front

there are smaller bulbs located there, at the side of the white plastic thingy

the smaller bulbs dont 'light' the needles

they shine on them.

NINJA EDIT:

[cvc7chris]

oh okay thanks for the help im such a dumbass i didn't see that b4

so what about the 3 bulbs in the back

they look BURNT!! but the cluster lights up fine other than the needles

so they are probably still good right

anytime.

theyre prolly still good, but to be safe, I'd swap em all. Its PITA to take out the cluster.

SO better be safe than blind at night without lights for ur gauges.

You can even change the look of your cluster by swapping different coloured bulbs too.
