the bulb behind the speedo in my dash must be out, cause i cant see how fast i am going :P

so... is this a job that can be done by myself/boyfriend? is it easy? or does the whole kit and caboodle have to come out? or would it be better if a auto elec does it?

if it can be done us.. (my bf :P) can someone explain how its done?

cheers :)

oh also.. is it just my dash or do the lights behind the gages seem quite dim even when dimmer turned up high... ??

in my lancer if i had the dash lights on high i had to wear my sunglasses :P

The FTO dash is soo incredibly easy to pull out.

You should have no problems getting to it.
