Hi folks,

Anyone know if there's an easy way to get to the upper warning light cluster bulbs (where the turn-signal, airbag warning, etc. lamps are), without pulling the whole dash apart? Seems like it shouldn't be that much work to change a bulb... :) Thanks,

-Daire

Yes, You can pop the top dash plate up from the corners. Then you can reach inside and replace the service engine soon light bulbs easily. I just replaced mine a couple days ago. The black top dash cover with the vent holes and speaker display holes will pop straight up. You have to take the pillar panels off first. They pop out by hand, just be careful not to crack the plastic. After you have the drivers side pillar moulding off, you can pop the dash panel up about 3 inches from the front, there is a metal push pin, that is connected to the top dash cover, like I said pop or pry it straight up, you see once you get the pillar moulding off. Good luck, hope this helps. Mechanic 7yrs, shop owner 5 yrs.

The window pillars or plastic covers next to the window if you look at the front windshield. Start pulling them from the top/down, from the headliner, they will have metal clips; sometimes the clips come off the plastic mouldings, so make sure to slip them back on when you re install the moulding.
