Default Light Replacment

Well guys I have a bulb out behind my speedometer. It right between the 70-90mph. Even though I don't go that fast..lol...But I was wondering how easy it would to replace the bulb. It's just an eye sore to see the whole dash lit up and just to have that little bit out.

its not bad. you shouls only need a phillips screw driver. tahe off the center bezel, and the head light switch. there are two screws at the top of the gauge cluster and two at the bottom kind of hidden. if i remember right remove the 4 and the whole assembly shpuld slide right out. i dont remember what held on the back but pull the gauge assembly apart and you should see the bulbs

It'll prob take an hour or so just to give you heads up.

Unless you could care less about scratched up plastic parts and carelessness of pulling on the wiring/breaking clips..etc

Just take your time and it will be easy.

I have the same problem in my '03, except it is one bulb behind the tach. Do you guys know what the model number of the bulb is? I went to Autozone and checked Sylvania's website, and neither one could give me a number or part. Autozone guy told me to take out the bulbs and bring one in and he can try to match it, but I would rather just buy the bulbs ahead of time and already have them there and ready to be put in. So if someone can give me a part number or such, and tell me how many bulbs are in there total, I'd appreciate it.

Can anybody help me out with this? I tried a forums search and went through every page, no answer, and Google isn't helping either.
