Wife was driving the ST last night and noticed the instrument cluster lights were half burnt out mostly middle to the left size of the gauges.



How hard is to replace/fix this? What is the part # for the bulb(s)?



Thanks,

SST
 
the size lights are going to be 194 you can get them off of ebay but they are probably not gonna have the right color you wan't many people just get blue 194 leds from ebay....make sure there is not a fuse blown or anything before





here the website you can go to to see how to take the dash apart

any more question just email me at [email protected] ;)
 
They aren't hard to replace, just time consuming.



However, since more then one bulb went out, I'm willing to bet there is a wiring problem somewhere. Perhaps a connection along the way has come loose. Doing a search on "dash lights" or similar will yield several posts on how to get at the bulbs.
 
they are 194's... replace them with leds... they have green ones on ebay...



its nto hard to do, just a paint to get there, you will need a 7mm nut driver i believe (maybe 8mm) and a phillips screwdriver. There are 6 behind the gauges.



I would highly recommend these leds... I have them but in blue.
