burnt out dash lights
Its not a real problem, just an **** retentive thing here. Its a v6 2000 firebird, and the 500 hash mark on the tach is out, it drives me nucking futs when im driving at night, i dont know why it just does....anyway....will removing the guage cluster cause accuracy problems? The lights are put in via the back of the cluster correct? so then there would be no need to remove anything on the front, plastic guard, needles, overlay ect ect.
I had someone tell me that once you disconnect a guage cluster from a car it completely loses its ability to accuratley read anything, i thought it sounded kinda dumb but thought id ask before screwing something up.... Thanks!!!

Hell I took the cluster out of a wrecked 97 Astro van and installed it in my mom's 84 S10 and it still works!
Oh and plus assuming it uses the same lights they are tinny little SOB's in there. Not the good old 194 push in bulbs.

No, it's not bad. It took me an hour to swap out my old cluster for a Z cluster. That included light checks (did LEDs which only work one way), then reassembly and install.

Nah, his should have the 194s. Only tiny bulbs I believe are the LEDs for the warning lamps. Though the tiny ones are a pain.
