Default Need help changing odometer light

A few months ago, my odometer light quit working. Sometimes it would come back on and stay on for a while then quit again. I am tired of not being able to see my mileage so I'm getting ready to try and change the light myself. If anybody has some directions on this or maybe pics, they would be greatly appreciated.

Pop the dash piece above the steering wheel off, unscrew the few screws holding the gauges in, pull them torwards you and theres the bulbs. Had the same problem when I bought mine, and thats the first thing I fixed. Took about 5 minutes.

You need to remove the lower trim piece (below steering wheel) first, to gain access to the two screws that hold the upper (cluster cover). Then you can pull the upper cover straight back.

It is easy, once you know the steps.
