Instrument illumination bulb replacement

[505live]

The left side of my instrument panel is very poorly illuminated, looks like a bulb is out. Since I don't have a manual would anybody like to enlighten (haha..) me on how to get at the bulb and possibly a part#?

Incidentally I did this while I was spelunking behind the dash for gauge placement locations during my stereo install. Pretty much the same as the F series stuff. There's a little clip in the knob for the headlights, push it down and slide the knob off. Unscrew shroud around the headlight switch. Remove the 2 8mm screws from over the instrument cluster. Pop the dash cover off and unplug the 12v power outlets. Remove the 4 8mm screws holding in the instrument cluster, slide it out and the gear shift indicator can be popped out from the bottom. Unplug the connectors at the back and you can pull the cluster out. Bulbs are obvious, I replaced the 4 instrument bulbs w/ slyvania long-life bulbs (only 1 was burned out though). I also put a little smear of dielectric grease on the bulb contacts.

Props to 505live for this detailed info. I'm installing a Pioneer F90BT and all the install kits are one time only installs. You can't remove them easy like you can the Ford double din headunits--once you push them in, they don't pull out. After that the only way to access the back of the radio is to remove the trim that goes all the way around the IP, headlight switch, vents and HVAC controls. Since I want the radio NOW, but will have to go back in to hook up the nav antenna, reverse camera, and VSS wire, this info allows me to install now, and finish up later. Thanks again
