Instrument warning lights...

I've been reading in the manual about all these warning lights my IROC is supposed to have. Lights like - low voltage, temperature, and oil pressure. When I start my car, these don't come on at all when they're supposed to be in their "test". I didn't even know they existed 'till I looked in the manual! My question is...is it most likely just bad bulbs? Easy to replace or no? Cuz I like lights

If you're talking about for your 86, it's probably talking about the 'idiot lights' that some models came with instead of gauges.

Correct. Since you have the gauges, you don't get the idiot lights.
I'm pretty sure that is what the manual was talking about.
