944 1987 I have removed the instrument panel and I think located the bulb holders, three of them.. But how do I remove the holders from the panel to get at the bulbs? Do you pull or twist? Alec

Just recently, in my '92 Camry, my gauge lights went out. I thought it was a blown fuse, but I checked all of them, and they are all fine. Is there a bulb that is for the dashboard lights that is also for the air-conditioning and gear indicators? Thanks. Alejandro.

This one is a bit strange. Hyundai dealer has no ideas. The instrument panel lights stopped working. The fader works, the two bulbs in the panel work (lighting up the milage indicator) and all other indicator and signal bulbs work. Just the speedometor and tach display are dark. Now, get this. T..

'81 F100....All the bulbs light, but are very dim. Rheostat works, in that it will dim them even more to Off. I can' find a electrical troubleshooter for this problem, so I'm at a loss. Advice appreciated. Thanks Dave S(Texas)

I have a 97 Camry LE. 230,000 miles, runs great...but... on the instrument panel the cruise, abs & airbag symbol flash when the car is turned on, once in drive only the cruise symbol & airbag symbol continue to flash. I have had the car checked out - no one can find answers. Any suggestions?

Please Help! My 95 4dr 4X4 Blazer instrument panel lights and heater/ac center lights are not working when the headlamps are turned on. Dome, hatch under the dash light are okay. Check the left side dash fuse box and all fuse are okay - is there another fuse panel that I am not aware of? Thanks..
