1998 GT. Two questions:

1) The bulb at the lower left (fuel gauge?) is burned out so I need to replace it. Anyone know how these things are replaced? Do you need to get underneath the plastic surface of the gauge (underneath the needle), or do these bulbs get stuck in the back of the panel?

2) While I'm in there I'm thinking of replacing all the bulbs with LEDs. Anyone done this before, and know how many bulbs the instrument cluster takes so I know how many to get? I think the cluster takes 194-type bulbs, right?

Also, does anyone know how to replace the bulbs on the A/C panel?

all you have to do is remove the gauge cluster. to remove the bulb housing just twist and remove. i do believe the lights are 194s. there are about 6-7 lights. as far as the a/c, i'm not sure.

Thanks, are the bulbs accessed from the back of the cluster panel, so no gauge faces need to be removed?

Yes, that is correct. They just plug in from the back. When you remove the cluster it will be pretty obvious.
