194 is the bulb, not difficult.
Just remove the screw on the dash cluster and prey it out.

nah aznblue mentioned that only HALF of the lights went out. ususally if ALL the lights go out, then you should check the fuse.

change the bulbs out.

prepare for a great battle with the screw for your first time, be careful not to *uck it up. After that, you really can change any bulbs you like at anytime.

The RH side of my tach lights had been out since I bought the car 6 months ago. I wasn't willing to replace them cause I heard the screws were a pain. In the last month, it has come back on and stayed on. Now the fan speed light goes out when it's turned on. Oh well, I'm glad to have the whole tach back at night.

To answer aznNblu and lupous's question... The link above is the best thread to go to...

many of us have done it... once your past first two screws, its all smooth sailing from there :angel:

you'll need five 194 bulbs... you can get it at any auto parts store like kragen or autozone
