Do it! It's a piece of cake. I ordered the bulbs from amazon, then found them in Walmart. Shocked they carried such a tiny little bulb.

Just did this fix, very easy. Dash cover takes a little bit off force for the clips to come out. Took about 20-30 mins in total. Now I can see the odometer at night.

Thanks

Isn't this a great fix. I drove for almost a year thinking it was an expensive led. I never imagined it is replacable bulb that lights that up.
