Dash lights again!

Hello,
I hate to beat a dead horse, but I have been unable to find the thread that talks about how to replace bulbs behind the dash. I have a 95 SVX L and one bulb is out behind the speedometer and one behind the "D" on the drive indicator on the dash (not the console). I would appreciate it if anyone could point me in the right direction. This forum has been a terrific help in the short time I have been a member. Thank you all!!
Michael

there are 3 mabie 4 "cant remember off my head"
under the lip of the dash..
1. remove 3-4 screws holding wood trim to dash..
2. remove the button clusters... (pull one side or other
pull out slightly, grasp tabs on side pull off.... then twist
90Deg one way and put into hole in dash.. (do both)
3. take out screws behind the button clusters.. (2)
4. pull wood trim carefully!! and put on passenger side
of car.. (leaving clock attached)
5. remove (6) black screws holding gauge cluster
(4 corners. 2 above into dash)
6. grab cluster on top pull twards you little bit,
then bottom and it should pop out.. (it has compression connections)
7. find your bulb that's bad, they just twist out like a normal bulb.
but they have a black cap on them.


sorry no picsn right now... hope that helps.

SuperRuu,
thank you so much. This is the first solid instructions I've seen. I hope it is not too difficult to do. I will try it as soon as I get some time. Thanks again.

No prob,
it's not hard, just don't get in a rush and try to force things.
be carefull with wood trim it will snap and scratch easy!!
