So the light behind my gas gauge burnt out tonight.. <_<

How to change is my first question.

And should I do the gauge face while im in there?

it's not hard at all, it's just a matter of undoing the gage bezel and then undoing the screws and it pulls right out more or less, then it's just a matter of turning the thing over and twisting out the bulb and replacing it.

Well... it can't fail, but you never know :P

Change it if you're bored with what you see in front of you every day.
