So after reading this, and the link, can someone tell me... is it easy for the average Joe to change out the dash cluster bulbs? I have one out (behind the gas gauge..no biggie) and don't really want to pay the car guys for an hour of work to switch out 5 bulbs if the hubby and I can do it for free (even if it takes 3 hours!!).
We've replaced bulbs on the 3rd brake light...is it LOTS harder than that or just a little harder?

Real easy to change. 5-6 bolts on dash panel....five more for the cluster.

Actually that only lists the LED replacements (#74 from www.superbrightleds.com) the normal gauge bulbs are 194. Which isn't listed in that thread.

I have a tutorial on it that shows step by step. here is the link. http://iwired.us/leds/tutorial/Post97/Uninstalling/guages/index.html
and
Reinstall is just backwards but here is some help for installing #74s (which aren't a perfect fit)
