Default Main Beam Dash Light

Just wondering how difficult it is to remove and replace the dash in order to change the indicator for Main Beam which has failed.

Thanks.

Not bad at all, I just replaced mine too. Took about 30 minutes total, the dash is a plug in type, just pay attention to how it comes apart.

Use caution the automatic dashes are a bit tricky so just go slow and check everything as you go.

But it should be easy

I agree with '98. If you have the mechanical style shift indicator be careful when removing the cluster or you can break it.

Mine's a 2000 with the 45rfe gearbox. I'm assuming everything is electronic on this one?

What sort of bulb does it take for the Head Light indicator (Blue)?

Thanks.

Look at rockauto.com it will show you what you need.

Its just a bulb you can get LED bulbs for it in varying colors
