I just replaced 4 bulbs from my dash. I got a great deal on Ebay for the bulbs, about $10(including shipping) for 4 main bulbs and 2 smaller bulbs.

It was a bit tough wiggling the unit out but I had a bottle of Snapple that I wedged on the right side to keep that side elevated.

Once I got the unit out I replaced the 4 main bulbs, but didn't replace the little bulbs, there are so many of them and I'll replace them when they burn out and I only had 2 small ones for replacement.

Putting the unit back into place was easy. BUT, for those who will try this be VERY careful when you replace the dash because I cracked the hard plastic dash part near the windshield when I pushed the dashpad back into place.

Total time, about 30 minutes of labor. I wonder how much the dealer would've charged?

Well I'm good for another 100,000 miles.
