Black76

I have a 76 im doing work on the dash fixing the tach and speedometer while the dash is out im replacing the bulbs what are the replace bulb number to get and i can get those bulbs at parts store or do i have to order from the vette places

Owner's manual will have a chart of the correct bulbs. You can probably get them over the counter at any generic auto parts place or well stocked hardware store.

Just replaced all bulbs in my 76, got all of them from autozone.

do you have to take off steering wheel to get the dash console out? I have a '78 and am debating about replacing bulbs as 2 are dead.

Replace them all - see my bulb thread from yesterday.

All the vendors sell a "bulb kit" that's 95% acurate - LOL

You have to unbolt the steering column and pull it down a bit to get that panel out easily. Wheel can stay on.

You can change the bulbs on your back with a flashlight - if you're too big, find a skinny guy.

Best to drop the steering column for more room to remove dash.The speedometer cable can be a little difficult, I pulled some slack from the engine side of the firewall.Wires are color coded and the back of the speedo and tach are labeled with the color.However the label may be hard to read so it's best to make a diagram what wire went in which position for reassembly....Good Luck....

replaced mine with blue LED's while I had the dash out. Custom look and the bulbs will last forever

LED's are the way to go. You don't want to do this job ever again!
