Has anyone had to change any of their Dash lights ?
I have one burned out in my Speedo.
Is there a how to thread ?

If its a light inside the instrument panel its not that difficult:
Tilt steering wheel all the way down. Remove trim around the drivers information center, it should pop off with gentle prying. Be careful of your fog lamp switch, don't try to remove it from the trim. The harness has a connector if you allow it to feed itself through the dash, no worries just unplug it. There will be 4- 7mm screws on the perimeter of your instrument cluster, remove them. Your instrument cluster will now be able to be pulled out carefully, youll have to pull it out straight at first to ensure the pins in the back are unplugged. You will have to angle it a little to remove it. Once you have it out of the drivers information center there will be little black plastic "screw type" dots. They simply twist to the left to loosen then back straight out. in the holder is a bulb, find the one thats burnt out and replace it. When going back together make sure you plug the instrument cluster back in squarely. There are little line up pins near the screw holes so it does somewhat guide you. Hope this helps any questions about this let me know,

I believe they are just 194 bulbs. I would see if you can find them in LL(long life) at any of the chain auto stores.
Or are you looking for SUPERBRIGHTLED's?
