Question Dashboard Lights '66

Greetings,
I own a '66 T-Bird.
The Instrument Panel lights behind the speedometer need replacing, at least 2.
How do I go about replacing these bulbs? I know, replace ALL of them at the same time!
But I am clueless on how to acomplish this?
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks!
66 Boid

The repair manual says two of the speedometer lights are accessable from the left hand side of the car under the instrument panel. To get to the balance of the lights you have to remove the clock housing and remove the speaker grill,defrost nozzle and the washer vent control plate and reach through the clock housing to remove the remaining bulbs.
I havent had to do this on my 66 and am not looking forward to it---cheeeze

If you are nailing the speedo lights,

have fun lol.

I had the 4 GAUGE lights go out ( as I believe mentioned above poster was referring to) and those are a snap to do.

for the dash itself, you need to remove some housings, too get it out. Not tough , but involved. 3 hours tops. have fun !
