You just need a bulb.

Here's a great link. Center Console Lights

nice link but not real sure which one/color is the one that is out on mine.... clear?

had the same problem

If I remember it is infact a clear bulb. Its a very easy fix and should only take a few minutes. Should only be 2 bulbs, one for each side. I would go ahead and replace both since you are there. If one is out the other is probably on the way.

I have this same problem. It's a loose or failing bulb.

okay... guess my next question would be what kind of bulb and from where? lol

i had the same problem, fixed it by adjusting the dimmer up and down a few times on the left of the gauges and the bulb started working again.

We should sticky this. This same question gets asked at least once a week and nobody seems to search.
