is it just the lights? (you could still see the digits they just dont light up)

If its just the lights, remove the bezel on top of the dash unit, and there are 4 little silver things that twist and come out, you should replace all 4 bulbs.

The bulb # is Sylvania 882, found at Pep Boys. The trick is gettin the little buggers in, you CANT touch them with fingers, oils from your hands make them get hot and they blow up sooner.

You may have to have the digital dash cluster repaired. Check in the Tech tips area, they have a complete description on how to pull out the cluster. This is a commom problem with digital dash. Good Luck :seeya

The bezel is the plastic piece surronding the gauges.
