How difficult or easy is to replace a dash light for half my speedometer? 04 PT Cruiser.

    My gut instinct is you will probably have to replace the whole cluster.

    Hello!! Getting the instrument cluster out would be the hardest part for someone that may not do this everyday.. But once the cluster is out and un-plugged, the bulbs can be replaced.. If you are feeling frisky and you got a couple extra bucks, go ahead and replace them all once you got it out... They are all the same age and who wants to do thais again?..

    So dis-regard what DS said, he is just not as good looking as I.. :lol:

    Good luck brother.. I am here if you need me..

    I wouldn't replace it. Why would you want to know how slow you're going?

    I'm still getting the same story today from the service department. Cav needs to clarify what makers have interchangeable bulbs for the cluster. :corn:

    I am looking at the service procedure as we speak.. 04 PT Cruiser dash lights can be serviced.. instrument cluster must be removed to do so, like i said.. :)

    and DS, the 4runner's bulbs are serviceable.. It is actually a common problem with them.. I had to do mine when I first got it..

    4runners rule!! I am honored that you are my VGL, 4Runner buddy!! :D

    But wait.. Is this some Single White Female shit?? :shock:

    Those fuckers! I mean I don't have to replace a lot of clusters or any dash baord lights but the few I have were for lights. :twisted:

    The worst however is when the light burns out on a stereo. Perfectly good radio needs to be taken out just beacuse of a light.


    And I've had my 4Runner since 03. I think you may be stalking me. :fp: :lol:

    Of course I am stalking you!! I am in your bushes right now, rubbing peanut butter all over my chest, and waiting..

    The furniture looks lovely by the way.. 8-)
