'72 C-10 Dash Bulbs ?
 
I've got 3 or 4 burnt out Dash Cluster Bulbs on my '72 C-10 that I need to change.

Wondering which is the best way.

Should I take loose of the Cluster to get to the back of it ?

Or is it just better to reach up from under the Dash to tackle it ?

Thanks

Unless you have another reason to remove the cluster, just reach up from underneath. It's not that bad and while still in place you can turn on the lights and verify the new bulb is good

Def reach up from the back, replace with LED bulbs and it'll be the last time you do it.

Can the LED bulbs be dimmed?

Not sure about dimming, I replaced my turn signal lights so far. I always have the dash all the way up anyway. I have a LED bulb in my house on a dimmer that works fine.

They dim to a point. After that, they shut off completely dark. In my opinion, they dim enough to not be a distraction in the darkness of night.

I replaced my Dash lamps a few months ago with the LED's here's the thread with pics and a link to the Dimming LEDs...
