Speedometer light problem

Hello,

I have a '98 Corolla CE w/ 91,600 miles which I have owned for a couple months so far, and I have some time now to fix this annoying problem. It's the backlighting for the speedo cluster. When the headlights are turned on at night, everything on the cluster lights up except for the far right section of the speedometer (where the 110-120 mph labels are located). I tried tapping and knocking against the dashboard in hopes that the affected bulb may have a loose connection with the socket, but no result, so I'm pretty sure the bulb is burnt out. Does anyone know what kind or type of bulb is required for the gauge cluster? I have directions on how to access the gauge cluster panel, so as soon as I know the kind of bulb I need, I'll get crackin' on this "mini"-project. Thanks!

194 This happened to me, so I changed all 3 bulbs. My mechanic said he'd have to take off the steering wheel and airbag. This is definately not the case. Oh yeah autozone has some nice green ones that look pretty close to stock. Good luck.
