The lights in the area between the speedometer and tachometer are out so I can't read above 40 mph and 1500 rpm. Is this a DIY project or dealer job? Do nite driving at 70-75 mph and don't feel comfortable not knowing my exact speed. Thanks for any advice. Maury

It's easy enough for yourself to do. Just don't take the clear cover off of the cluster, You don't want to touch the needles.

Here's some pics of when I changed the bulbs in my '98 P71 and in my Marauder:

Do you have a scangauge? it shows MPH with other data as well---always a great tool to have around ..

Easy but time consuming job. I can supply LEDs if you want to go that route.

You will want to go the LED route. Much better illumination.
