Just replaced light in instrument panel myself. Take off the 2 screws in top the bezel. Then drop the steering column to furthest down and slowing wiggle the bezel out starting with the left side which worked for me. Bottom pushin pin should pop up and do same for other side. Next, unplug all the connectors and remove the bezel. Next unscrew the 4 screws that hold the cluster, 2 top and 2 bottom. You can then pull out the instrument cluster and if lucky you can see the back and pull out the bulb that needs replacing. If not, on the bottom of the cluster, there's a screw there but don't remove but unhook (push inwards) the two plastic ends which hold the display PRND21. Should slide down and should give more access to pull out. I also took out the annoying flashing air bag light and left if out and taped so can't be seen. Also removed the windshield fluid light which was always on even though fluid was full. Putting back would be reversal. Forgot to mention, also put on parking brake turn key on (no starting car) and put into 1 gear. Gives room to remove

To access the instrument lights on an '83 El Camino, you need to remove the instrument cluster. Start by disconnecting the negative battery cable for safety. Then, unscrew the trim bezel around the dashboard, followed by removing the screws securing the instrument cluster itself. Once it's free, you can access the bulbs for the instrument lights and replace them as needed.
To replace the dashboard lights on a 1998 Nissan Maxima, first, ensure the vehicle is off and disconnect the negative battery terminal for safety. Remove the dashboard panel by unscrewing any visible screws and gently prying it off to access the gauge cluster. Unscrew the gauge cluster, disconnect its wiring, and then replace the burnt-out bulbs by twisting them counterclockwise. Reassemble the cluster and dashboard, reconnect the battery, and test the new lights.
In the fuse box...it will be labeled panel, or cluster , if the fuse is okies its the light switch.What if it is only half of the lights on the instrument panel that are out? Just the cold/hot dial and 5 buttons?
