had a look at previous posts and couldnt find anything on it and the pages in the online manual arn't there, am looking for a guide to replacing the light bulbs in the instrument panel, i could rip everything apart to do it but hoping to only have to remove the fewest possible things
thanks

I believe all you have to remove is the dash piece that surrounds the cluster then undo the screws that hold the cluster in and pull it out.

easier siad then done if u have the 94 up style of dash then u gotta basically remove everything to get into there

thanks
i got a 91 eunos preesso and it looks like i basically have to remove every panel to get to the instrument panel, could anyone tell me which i dont have to remove or the order in which i have to remove them?

remove the steering colmn cover, then the cover around the cluster's edge (two screws in the top side of it) then the guage cluster has 4 screws, two on top and two on bottom. The cluster will then pull out a bit and you have to unhook the speedo cable wire and a few other wires to remove it. Once it is out you can replace the bulbs with any color you can find not too hard...

thanks, will have a go at it during the week.

Good luck with the cluster let us know how it goes and if you need any more info.

i had a look, i seen a dash panel with 2 screws on the top panel that you can see without removing anything, mine doesnt have any screws that i can find, dont know if i am missing somthing quite obvious or dont know where to look but i am still lost how to remove it without removing everything? any more help?
thanks.

i had to remove the main trimming that runs all the way down the centre console to get at them but got there easily enough in the end, i had a play with the light covers(the little plastic things) i tried some blue ones i got off a eunos 500 and it still came through normal green as before, so why they have the green cover on them when they got so much tinting in the gauge plastic i dont know and figured you would have to go with red of something that would mix with green to give a color that is different enough to notice.

you are talking about the HVAC panel right?

If so, you have to pull off all of the slider knobs then pry up on the faceplate. There are 2 tabs on top & 2 on bottom and it should pull off with care.

then you'll see a bulb just sitting in your face.

It uses a #74 bulb, very hard to find replacements at teh parts stores. I had a hell of a time just figuring out what model# the bulb was.

was talking about the bulb behind my fuel gauge, but had to remove all that to get to it on my car
