I have a 98 corolla and the dash lights all of a sudden quit on me. Does anyone know how to replace those? I guess I should also check the fuse too.

Hello there,

It is a simple procedure.

All the tools I needed were 2 phillips screwdrivers, a shortie and a longer one.

You can get the required lighbulbs (3) at any Canadian Tire. Look for 194LL clear bulb, packs of 2 are $2.99 IIRC

If all the lights went out I would suspect a fuse or a wiring problem. Usually all bulbs do not blow out at once.

If it's just one though, it's more likely the bulb.

Are these the fuses that are behind the little storage cup beside the steering wheel? Which would be the one for the dash lights?

I just checked the fuses. They all look ok to me.

I found the lil bugger. Its a 15a fuse. Every time I try and put a new one in it pops right away. I guess its a short somewhere.
