I'm looking to replace the two bulbs that light up the speedo and temp gages. Right now the temp gage is in the dark and I figure that it is better to replace both bulbs while things are apart.

How do I do it? I had the dash apart previously for other reasons and didn't notice anything for light bulbs. Neither of my books seems to show anything.

I'm sure it's simple, just looking for a direction to head.

I've got a Chilten's and Haynes, but I don't know if I still have my pdf FSM for my 85 that should be close.

I have the lights changed and just need to put the rest of the dash back together. It is so nice to know what needs to be taken apart to pull things. The speedo cable was kicking my butt, I couldn't figure out what was holding up the gage pod from coming out. With old brittle parts, the BFH can't be used.

Thanks for the help and moral support.
