Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

    Instrument cluster lighting.

    Tonight while I was driving I dimmed my cluster lights. I noticed that there was no light coming from behind my temp gauge. To be honest, I couldn't remember if I've ever seen it lit up.

    Is the temp gauge supposed to have a light behind it.

    There's 2 little bulbs behind the fuel & temp gauges.

    Probably burned out.

      Thank you for the speedy reply. I didn't want to take the dash off to find out it doesn't light up.

        no need to take the dash off. just take the black trim off then there are 4 screws on each side of the cluster and 2 connectors on the bottom. pull the cluster out and take off the connector on the top and you will see 2 or 3 brown twist off lights. they should have a blue rubber cover on them. replace the light that is out and reinstall i have done this way to many times. i can do this in my sleep now lol

          Easy enough, I will take care of it next month while I change out the suspension.

          While I replace them, is there a chance I could change the colors of the lights?
          I also would like to light the climate control knobs if there was a way

            I have never tried it but i dont see why not. What colors the bulb is a rubber sleeve. If you can fashion another sleeve im sure it would work

            As for temp knobs i have no idea

              Yes. You can get LED bulbs to replace them in any colour. The sleeve thing could work I suppose, just be careful about what you use because those regular bulbs create heat.

              There is a way to light the climate control knobs. Someone on here has done it and explained it step by step in another thread. Search for 'climate control' in the DIY section.

                Found that DIY. I love the way that climate control looks. Thank you.

                  Just a quick addition. Be sure that you remove the negative battery cable. I didn't do that once and I messed up my fuel guage.
