Cool Burnt out dash light

Does anyone know how I would go about changing a dash light? It's burnt out just under the fuel gauge and I can't seem to figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thnx.

Don't know how to do it, but I have one piece of advice for you.

When I had my stores and a bulb burned out in a ceiling fixture, we had to use very tall ladders. It was a pain. More often than not, other bulbs in the fixture would soon start burning out. Decided that it made better sense to change all the bulbs in that fixture all at once while we had the ladder out and the floor cleared.

So, if you're gonna change one bulb in the dash, you may as well change them all and use a high quality name brand bulb. It won't take you all that much longer to do.

Sorry to rain on your parade. From my understanding and expereince on other trucks (not newer F150's) it's not all that hard but it is a pain. Most of the time you have to take the dash and/or guage cluster apart to reach the bulbs on the back of the panal. Hope all goes well.
