I didn't think there was a bulb in the instrument panel. I thought the light was molded into the panel and couldnt be changed.

Glad you decided to come to the ram section instead of tearing up your dash trying to find a bulb you will never find... lol I believe firemedic is right. They come in the speedometer look em up you can find them in all colors you want.. i even saw some bad *** flames that dance with the beat of your music... You can find anything man just research.

I changed the light on my 02 from green to blue.It looked faint because the bulb was so blue but I could still see at night.Lemme look for pic.There is actually an aftermarket bulb for our trucks.

The bulbs are white and do come out. The dials are green.

Whaaaat? they have bulbs! I have the stylin trucks magazine and the speedometer gauge comes inside the speedometer... maybe its just the ones theyre selling or somehting didnt know there was a bulb... In the mag you can even change the color...or have ones with flames that dance... wasnt aware. CRMRAM where can you get that blue bulb dude? i thought i haad to buy the whole gauge again to make it blue..
