this isnt' a real high priority, but I was curious how big a can or worms am I asking for to get at the light bulbs behind the speedometer etc?
I'm pretty sure I have one out (dim area) and if It's not a huge deal, Id like to get all the bulbs working one of these days.
thanks
oh, and this would be for my 87 f150

 

Same truck as mine. I've had the cluster out many times. Remove the dash piece that surrounds the headlight switch. It just snaps on and off but you will need to push the button on the headlight switch that releases the switch ****. Then it will pull right out. It's on the side of the switch behind the dash. Pull off the wiper ****, then pull off the dash piece. Then remove the dash piece on the other side. One screw on that one that was covered by the left dash piece, then it also snaps off. Remove the screws from the bezel surround and remove it. Remove the screws from the cluster and pull it out. There are two plugs on the back of it, you will need to squeeze the sides of them to pull them out. You will also need to remove the speedometer cable by pushing the plastic holder to the side then pull it out. Then you can remove the cluster and change the bulbs.
