I actually did this to my 99 Lincoln Town Car executive because 2 of the lights were burnt out. Battery light and service engine soon went out. Thanks Chris!

This is so helpful. the fact that someone takes the time to make these videos is seriously a money saver! so for all you youtubers making these type of videos THANK YOU 🙏❤️🔧😎👍❤️🔧🔧🔧
Good job bro!
Pretty sure this was one of the first videos that got me hooked on the channel, needed to replace the dead bulbs on my dash cluster. Miss my old Ranger. Got totaled when someone hit me from behind and did too much damage to the body that their insurance said it cost more to repair than it was worth. It's been a while so I'm not 100% sure of the details, but I think I remember that if I wanted to fix it myself I'd have to get a salvage title since it was totaled so I took the money and put it towards my newer F-150.
great video—–add a bit of electrical grease to the lamps too?
Dear Chris, I have recently ran into an issue changing the bulb on my 2002 Subaru impreza. It seems that the polarization is giving me a run for my money. I tried messing with it for several days and cant seem to find the problem. I was wondering if you would be able to help me
is there a way to customize the color of the lights?
Thanks Chris for this, you are Awesome young man!! Thanks again!!! Tim
Tbh I would’ve believed you if you said it was a 2001 Ford Ranger. That’s the truck I have but wtf why is it like an exact clone, the bolts and everything
how to replace the turn signal indicator light in the "upper" dash 2001 dodge caravan the arrow
The mere pint topologically hope because option regularly scrape till a venomous iran. dispensable, separate damage
Geesh this was great but scary to imagine me doing. Thanks for sharing. Your channel is amazing.
Replaced dashboard lights on my 1997 Ford Explorer. Thank you, Chris! That was realy easy to do it at home by myself
Fantastic tutorial. Changed out my dash lights using this. Zero issues. Took me about 2 hrs. Thanks for the details.
First time I’ve seen a 5.5mm bolt, let alone a socket. 😲
Ofc my car has 10000 wiring harnesses that i cant reach
Just a heads up, if you’re doing this on a ‘06-‘11 ranger (could be wrong on the earlier year) they do not take 194 bulbs. After many hours of frustration and many many more colorful words, I found the correct ones online. You need to get bulbs that fit a T5 bulb socket. Now I gotta tear apart my dash again…
before hey guys was Heyyy Guyyzz!
I am so happy you did a video on this. I was like frustrated as the lights on the gear selector indicator was out and I couldn't see which gear I selected at night. Thanks Chris!
And there are your infamous gloves!
Great hands! Used to you wearing blue gloves!
I have the High Beam Indicator Lamp burn't out on my 2002 Ranger, is that hard to find among all that? Oh, I get it now, How many bulbs total, twenty-some?. I had them all changed out once, over $200 back then.
Chris fix sounds depressed
Poor sad chrisfix… I hope we never meet again
Do you think you can make a video on how to change the color of the cluster lights? I have a mustang gt like yours and i always hated that green look and I’ve watched videos on it but nobody explains things like the one and only chris fix😂 I’ve heard i need to sand down the green tint but I don’t know of there is another way
Hey mate I'm from Canberra Australia, you actually have videos worth watching. Educational, informative and most of all, you do not annoy me haha. I'm slowly getting through your videos 👍
I’m glad we have the same truck. Do you have any videos on how to remove and replace the heater-core?
I need to bright up my dash on my 03 tacoma 2wd
