if you are rather skinny and alim, you might be able to lay on your back and reach the one you need.

However, the bulbs are on the back side of the instrument Panel, turn counter clock wise to remove burn out bulbs, to replace, install new bulb, and rotate clock wise, I am not sure the correct one, but there about 16 or so bulbs or so, on the back of the panel.

sure hope your skinny

if not, you need to take off the cluster trim panel

1- pry off and out, the culster panel trim plate (a plastic cover the screws that hold the cluster in place...can be done in drivers seat)

2- remove the 4 screws that hold the custer in place.

3- if you have enough room, at this point to acess the burned out bulbs, great replace them.... if not, there is 3 connection of wiring that can be disconneted in order to geet to the back of IP panel to change any and all bulbs you want...

replacement is just the backwards as to how you got it out, install the 4 screws, then snap the trim ring into place

let me know if you need help taking out the Instrument panel.
