replace dash lights?

hey, question for you guys.. I burned out a bulb in my dash, so I really can't see the right half of my dash at night anymore....

Anyone know how hard it is to get to these things? How much of the dash do I have to tear apart? As of now I can't see if I have any gas or how fast I'm going at night.... Sucks hard.

It's not that bad 6 screws, 2 clips, speedo cable and two big *** wiring plugs. I went for broke and took the wheel off too, later people bragged that they could remove their cluster without removing the steering wheel. I like using tools, that's my excuse for taking it off and I'm sticking with it. Anyone beleive me......didnt think so.

dont forget the few bolts at the back also that are holding it in too, u have to use a long screw driver and get to then from under the dash..
i only thought it was the 2 on the front holding it in and went crazy tring to yank it out..
also it try and remove the spedo cable befor pulling it out, other wise u might pull the cord inside and they dont give much slack with it..
