'99 626 Instrument panel lights
Most of the lights on the instrument panel (of my '99 626) are out which makes it difficult to see your speed and most everything else when driving at night. I need a diagram on how to replace these lamps and the part number for the lamps. Thanks.

RE: '99 626 Instrument panel lights
Parts computer not specific on which bulbs provide cluster illumination. These are what are listed.
GD7A-55-431 qty 16. suspect these are for the warning lights.
GD7B-55-431qty 2
GD7C-55-431 qty 3
GD7D-55-431 qty 1
GE1R-55-431 qty 1
Bet if you get the last 4 part number bulbs you will be easily covered to replace illumination and turn signal bulbs. Sometimes the bulbs are even replaceable separate from the socket holder with a generic bulb but not sure on this particular application. Getting to the instrument cluster is not very difficult. See below.

Unscrew the nut for the hood release handle. Pop the little side panel on the left side off and remove 2 phillips screw. Pull panel straight out to release spring clips.

4 screw here and instrument cluster is ready to pull out. illumination lamps are removed by turning 1/4 to 1/2 turn counterclockwise then pulling out of circuit board.
