Signal lights on the dash

Mine do not work, nor does the high beam indicator. How do you remove these bulbs? Do I need to remove the entire digital display? Thanks.

Entire cluster has to come out, once removed, the bulbs are accessible from the rear of the cluster housing.

Had the same problem on my 88 ANC that I just purchased in December... easy and cheap fix...new bulbs ...

BUT I have to ask...

I still have no lights on the automatic climate control for the heater/Ac... do not personally mind that the small red lights that show which button is pushed do not light up BUT I really would like to see the actual Temp lite up ...as it is now the screen is blank but the AC/Heater works and is adjustable but who knows what temp it is set at..

I see Zip sells the entire face plate for $99 bucks but it looks like it does not contain the bulbs...and I have not had time to do any research on how to remove the face plate nor if I can buy replacement bulbs....

ANYONE KNOW...????

I'm going to Carlisle in a Few weeks for Spring Carlisle and will be looking for a Full set of Factory Manuel's If I do not find them I;ll go back in August and look because I never miss all 3 days of the Corvette show...I only do one day in the Spring and one day of the Fall shows...

Thanks, guys. I assume these are standard bulbs and easy to find?

I think I'm headed to the spring meet at Carlisle too. Never been, it should be exciting!

If I remember correctly, the turn signal and brights indicator lights go in from the front and the other four illumination bulbs go in from the back. I replaced mine with Xenon bulbs like these - flea-by link. So far, so good.

On my 89, they are LEDs. I had issues with being able to change any settings, and only a few buttons worked. At some point, someone spilled something into the control. I took it out, took it apart, and cleaned it. While I was in there, I re-soldered all the joints to make sure everthing was getting good connection. This may be the issue you are having. You basically have to "break it" to get it apart as it is held together by melting plastic studs at the factory. It is easily super-glued back together.
