If anyone has burned out instrument cluster lights I have a pretty easy solution.

I purchased a fully functional salvage assembly from eBay for $140. Took apart assemblies and swapped 1 circuit board. The outermost board behind the speedometer. Swapped it to the functional assembly and reinstalled. All the original data from my car was moved over with the EEPROM on the removed board.

If I were to repeat the job it would take all of 45-60 minutes.

Hopefully this can help someone as it did me.

 

That's so great. Now turn down the dash lights to 3/4 so this and the center stack lights last.

 

Neat, great find!
