    My bright light indicator bulb has burned out or for some other reason is no longer working. Is there an easy way to replace a burned out bright light indicator bulb in the dash? If this has been dealt with in another thread I apologize. I searched to no avail.

    Replacing the combination meter bulbs requires removing the cluster to access the bulbs (he does a lot more than that in this thread but it's in there.) It's a bit of work so first I'd make sure it's not something else. I presume you've confirmed the brights are OK so it's not the column switch itself. Once you get to them they come out with a half twist, here's a pic.

    Thanks for the info and link. The lights seem ok so it is probably the bulb.

    Hey Dirk, are you running halogen bulbs or aftermarket HID/LED? I have seen people have the indicator stop working when running HID and LED bulbs but when switched back to Halogen, indicator works again.
