Anyone ever replaced dash lights?

[zazutata Lurker Find all posts View Profile Close zazutata]

Just wondering if anyone has ever replaced any of the globes in the dash. I have a 2001 GXL and, whilst not essential, it's annoying that the dash light has gone that illuminates the fan speed control on the bottom right of the centre-dash. I've managed to get the cover off but the unit looks like it's sealed. Does anyone know if an individual globe can be replaced?

Thanks,

Re: Anyone ever replaced dash lights?

Yeah Replacing those bulbs is a bit of a chore
I replaced my A/C temp light bulb on the model without climate control
Remove the centre dash panel and unscrew the A/C mounting screws. You have to get all the toggles and adjustment knobs off the front and then literally yank the front cover off. It has 4 lugs around the sides of it that have to be opened before it can come off. Once inside that facia the bulbs are relatively easy to replace. I think they are able to be bought at super cheep autos. The thing ya cant do is disconnect the mechanisms of the back of the unit as they never work properly again i stretched all the cables in mine and they're all loose now.

Anyways keep us posted and give us a yell if ya have any troubles and i might be able 2 help.
