All of my instrument lights are out in my 63 Rambler Classic, does anyone know if it’s possible to change the bulbs without pulling the cluster? Oil and gen lights do work and the temp gauge works.

As it turns out, the bulbs were perfectly fine, it was the contacts in the headlight switch. Got those cleaned up and the gauges light up as they are supposed to.

At 60 years old, I guess you can forgive it for needing a little attention once in awhile.

Oh, it certainly deserves some concessions, I was just happy to not have to change the bulbs, considering how difficult they are to get to.

Have a look at the bulbs and the covers. Clean the dust off them and they will be much brighter.
