    Speedometer light repair 
    6/30/2020 at 2:24 PM
    Is anyone in Brandon able to work on installing lights in my instrument panel?To the best of my knowledge they are soldered in and not just a simple taking out a bulb and putting another in.It is on a 2006 Gmc sierra.Any ideas would be helpful.Thanks.

    There’s a place in Oakbank that specializes in gauge cluster repair. Look up Mr. Whizard.

    Post a picture of the back. If there are no bulbs plugged in the back then it’s soldered. The bulbs will be a typically grey plastic piece that you turn to remove.

    No woody I don’t..The lights on the tach and transmission temperature I noticed last night are barely lit when I have the dimmer switch turned all the way up..I just seen kits on Ebay today but I figured I would get someone with experience to change them out..

    Twist in?

    It looks like your bulbs should be the twist in style according to this video, If it's not something you're comfortable doing yourself, Garage Mahal on Braecrest Dr. can change them for you.
