I just put some new bulbs in, some of the 5 bulb ones I bought real cheap started fucking up. The center bulb went out on all but one of them so I had one bright spot on my dash and the rest sort of visible. Anyway, I've seen people asking about dash surgery on 90-91 models and here are a few photos that might help
before
- pop off the long skinny piece of dash trim on either side of the steering column and it'll look like this:
You'll need to take these guys out too, in order to remove the plate under the steering column to reach up and push the light buton. 8mm. There are 2 on the bottom and 3 in the dash
the underside of the light switch:
switch pulled out
there are a few of these screws facing downward that you will have to take care of. 7mm IIRC...there might be 5 of them total holding that bezel from the top. Check the first few pics for shots of the locations of the forward facing ones. I forget how many of the forward facing ones there are but I'd imagine you lot can count.
pull the bezel off
put the light switch back in so you can turn the lights back off (if you didn't disconnect the battery for the job...i didn't because i wanted music)
clear cover needs to come off
another black bezel comes off
various stages of disassembly:
old blue bulbs that started fucking up
new bulbs (new red bulb in the bright light socket too)
key on w/ 4 ways before i put blue bulbs in the signals, one green bulb was wearing out but i didn't have any green replacements.
