    There is a thread on how to do it. You punch in exactly what you named your thread.

    With the instrument panel removed. Grasp back of bulb, twist counter clockwise and pull. Reinstall in reverse order.

    first, welcome to TW. You're wallet will hate you and your truck will love you.

    second, do a search (upper right) for "instrument cluster bulb" and you will get numerous results. probably even some videos to show you how.

    you will have fun and frustration removing everything that needs to come out but practice is good for the next bulb that goes :)

    Na, cmon, it's not so bad! Just replace a lot while you're in there. Clean stuff up. Look for other things to do. Dash rattles? Fix em now!
