    I need to replace two dash lights in the cluster, what is the best way to remove the cluster to replace burnt out bulbs. Also are the controls on the drives door back lit ? Window and door lock controls. Thanks.

    I started on the driver's side to the left and below the steering wheel. From there it was kinda like a puzzle. It helps to take pictures just to remind you which parts used what type of fasteners.

    Stock is incandescent. I avoid LED in the cabin because it gives my girlfriend migraines. Here's a question- how does the dimmer function work when the interior is swapped to LED?

    I think while I`am in there will change out all the bulbs so the time span having to do it again will or should be alot longer.
