How hard is it to change to bulbs behind my dials as only one works and when driving in the dark all i can see is half the speedo and my temp gauge

depends on whether you have an electronic or cable driven speedo, cable driven speedo is alot more work luke, as i found out the other week

easiest way i found was to remove the drivers side vents and light switches, then reach round behind the speedo and unclip the cable, then it comes out easy peasy

or you can loosen the cable at the gearbox to give enough slack but i have not a clue with engines so i never went down that route
