Dash board instrument cluster lights replacement???

Hi Guys,
Slowly over time, my guages have been getting darker and darker, it appears the bulbs have been blowing out...Last night the entire left side of my guages (speedo etc) blacked out, probubly the last bulb on that side went bad...Im wondering if anyone has tried to replace them and what possible headaches am I in store for?Any and all hints welcome, Thanks Guys

<FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Tahoma"><font color="#000000"><font size=2>Funny you should write about this. I'm changing my bulbs right now. I'm using the 12v 5w Xenon Blue bulbs sold by Ryan MacEwen. I put one in the shift indicator position and tried it for 1 minute. The bulb was burning so brite, it was smoking. QUESTION: Has anyone else used these bulbs? What the hell was smoking on the bulb? Was it the blue pigment on the bulb? Anyway, to change your bulbs, you'll need to remove the gauge cluster completely. There is 11 bulbs for the cluster 2 for the turn indicators and a few more for the warning lights depending on what options you have.</font color="#000000"></font size=2></font>
