Classic/Antique Car Repair: Dash Bulb replacement, light bulbs, dash light

Question
I've got a 1962 Impala and I need to replace some dash light bulbs. Problem is I can't find any. If you know their whereabouts and what is necessary to do the job I would be enlightened. Thank you for your time.

Answer
Hi Joe:
Getting under the dash is tight and tricky. I don't know how large you are, but some guys have to remove the steering wheel. Hopefully you can move the seat all the way back, and with a good flash light scoot under there head-first. You may have to remove the cover panel with a scew driver, but other than that, you should have access to the bulbs that control the dash lights. Hope this helps.
