Dashboard lights

Post by Deris »

Just purchased an 04 Baja, 158k. The right side of the speedometer is not illuminated. The light behind it is out I assume, is this a bulb? Fuse?
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

Most likely it's just the bulb(s). If it were a fuse the whole dash would be dark. That said though the stock lights are quite dim, especially at dusk.
There's an older thread with a full how-to about replacing the dash lights... but photobucket had go an grenade 3rd-party hosting so no more images: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1077

So if you want to DIY here's the instructions from the FSM:
