Question '91 GT Dashboard Lights?

My brother just gave his girlfriend his '91 Celica GT. My brother said on a long highway trip at night the back lighting to the instrument panel went dark? Is this a fuse or bulb issue? If a bulb issue how hard is it to replace?

could be a bad dimmer switch. all the bulbs at once, not likely. check teh fuses for good measure though and then check the dimmer switch.

Lightbulb Dimmer

That was my point as well. Do the dimmer switches ever just fail all of a sudden? Is there a fuse in a'91 GT just for the instrument panel lights?

We need help on this one guys!

So where are the back lights in the cluster on the '91 Celica? How do we get to them?
