Default What was I thinking???

I just added a 1999 Coupe to my very small Corvette collection (like I need another one!). I also have a 79 and 84. (my first Vette was a 58.. what was I thinking when I sold THAT car!!) Of course I found out right away that the C5 is a whole other breed of cat.

Just a couple minor issues (parking brake adjustment etc.) and I'm good to go! My problem is that I have 2 bulbs out in the buttons in the instrument cluster (Fuel and Gages). Just a little poking and probing makes me think I have to pull the ENTIRE cluster to change them!!

Can anyone confirm this? If it comes to pulling the cluster I'm not inclined to bother with it.

Thanks as always,

Ken

Congrats on the new Vette! Sorry about your lamp problem. If you don't get an answer here on C5General, you might also try on C5Tech. In recent months, more and more technical and repair stuff is showing up over there, and less here on General. If you get no meaningful replies in a few days, let me know via PM and I'll look up the procedure to service these bulbs for you in my factory manual.
