Last night I noticed that there was no illumination on the left side of the speedometer. Are there replaceable bulbs in the instrument cluster? Is it a big deal to get back there?

Yes, the bulbs are replaceable, and yes, it’s sort of a big deal to get back there. You can’t reach the bulbs from under the dashboard. The instrument cluster has to come out. I’d want a service manual, such as Haynes, to guide me in this project.

Thanks. That’s kind of what I thought
