I replaced all the bulbs in my dashboard several months ago. I was a bit intimidated - but it really wasnt very hard. Here's what I recommend you do:
1. Go to NAPA or Autozone (or some car place).
2. Buy the Chilton repair manual for your car. You'd be surprised how often you reference it. Worth the $11
3. Look at the manual in the store - I had to buy 7 bulbs for my 2000 camry's dash
4. Follow the instructions on how to take the molding and the instrument panel off
5. Replace all bulbs that illuminate the dash
It took me about 2 hours because I am slow. If I had to do it again, it would take me 20 minutes.
On a scale of 1-10, this is a 3 project.
Dealer quoted by $250 to do it. I AM IN THE WRONG TYPE OF BUSINESS!!
Good luck, let me know if you are successful.
